Melbourne, Australia - 9 October 2007 - Haliplex Pty Ltd, a leading developer of Utility network solutions, today announced another major Malaysian account wins, this time with Malaysia's premier carrier-neutral wholesale network provider, Fiberail. The project, delivered by Malaysian systems integrator Intelligent Essence, will employ Haliplex's HPX-1600 platform for seamless legacy network integration.
Fiberail, a joint venture between Telekom Malaysia and Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB), operates an extensive fiber optic network along the Malaysian rail corridor from Gemas to Rantau Panjang in Kelantan, and from Padang Besar to Johor Baharu. Spanning 1600km and all major townships in Malaysia, the network will deliver 'triple-play' voice, video and data services and other total business solutions.
Established in 1999, Haliplex designs and manufactures modular optical multiplexers that protect investment in SDH/SONET technologies, extend the life of legacy TDM infrastructure, and provide a pay-as-you grow migration to the Next Generation Network. Haliplex focuses on communications solutions for many of the world's most progressive Utility and Transport operators.
Earlier this month Haliplex announced account wins with Malaysian Rail operators KTMB. In a media briefing today Haliplex Chief Executive Officer, Richard Cookes, detailed Haliplex's recent winning streak.
"Haliplex designs modular, all-in-one multiplexing platforms that support both legacy TDM, and future focused IP services for price-sensitive applications. This future-proof design strategy has created a huge demand for the Haliplex platforms in Transport, Utility, and Carrier markets worldwide." Mr. Cookes said.
"October 2007 has proven an exceptional month for Haliplex, and it is with great pleasure that I announce a collaboration with leading broadband wholesaler Fiberail.
"Approaching network expansion, Fiberail committed to finding a solution that would expand services without necessitating a complete overhaul; they were looking for consolidation, economy, reliability, simplicity, and flexibility. The Haliplex HPX-1600 has met and surpassed their expectations for add-drop multiplexing and core-edge interfacing.
"The HPX-1600 will expand the delivery of broadband service from nx64Kbps to 2Mbps, as well as supporting a broad mix of low and high speed data services from a platform the size of a standard DVD player.
"The HPX-1600's modular, consolidated design means that Fiberail's engineers can simply 'plug in' new services as demand grows without having to revisit their fundamental infrastructure." Mr. Cookes said.
