Totah Communications Deploys Ribbon’s Neptune 1300 Packet Transport Solution for Increased Bandwidth and Faster Broadband Speeds

Ribbon’s Market-Leading Solution Will Help Future-Proof Totah’s Network, Enabling New Revenue Streams and Enhanced Residential and Business Communications Offerings

Ribbon Communications Inc., a global provider of real-time communications software and packet and optical transport solutions to service providers, enterprises, and critical infrastructure sectors, announced that Totah Communications, a leading Independent Operating Company (IOC) and provider of residential and broadband communications services in Northeastern Oklahoma and Southeastern Kansas, has deployed Ribbon’s Neptune 1300 Packet Transport solution to help future-proof its network. Ribbon’s Neptune 1300 delivers Totah significantly more bandwidth and provides broadband speeds of 200 Gigabit (200G) per second.

“We had outgrown our old network and were severely constrained by traffic bottlenecks and the inability to introduce new high-value services,” said Mark Gailey, President and General Manager, Totah Communications. “Ribbon’s Neptune Packet Optical Transport solution not only provides us with the ability to future-proof our network with needed bandwidth to deliver next-generation services and faster broadband speeds, but it also allows us to reclaim precious fiber and actively pursue new small to medium sized business customers and backhaul services.”

Gailey continued, “We considered several vendors for this upgrade but after evaluating Ribbon’s capabilities, experience and competitive pricing, they were the clear choice.”

“We are delighted that we could help our longtime customer, Totah, dramatically expand their network capacity and improve their communications offerings with our Packet Optical Transport solution,” said Elizabeth Page, U.S. Rural Market Director for Ribbon. “It is great that forward-looking IOC customers like Totah can realize an immediate return on investment by offering increased internet speeds on Day 1 and increased Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) that Ribbon’s Neptune 1300 offers.”

The Neptune 1300 provides a cost-optimized elastic, multiservice, platform capable of meeting all of a service provider’s packet transport needs across the metro network, from access to core. The solution delivers transparent low-latency transport, enabling service providers to easily provision new services.
