MetaSwitch Supplies its Next Gen Class 5 Switch to Yukon Telephone

Yukon Telephone, an incumbent provider serving several rural towns in Alaska, selected MetaSwitch’s VP3500 Next Generation Class 5 Switch to replace its existing Mitel and Redcom TDM Class 5 Switches. The new switch provides both legacy and broadband interfaces, including GR-303, VoATM and VoIP as well as advanced Web-based subscriber services. Yukon Telephone is deploying the VP3500 in its Whittier Central Office as a first step towards an all-IP network. Other platforms evaluated prior to the selection of Metaswitch included switches from Taqua, Gluon and CopperCom. Financial terms were not disclosed.
