Atec Choses Tilgin’s Flexible Premises Solution for South African FTTH Deployment

STOCKHOLM - Atec, a leading fiber provider in South Africa, will base its FTTH deployments on Flexible Premise Solution from Tilgin, a provider of software-controlled home gateways and remote management solutions. Atec will combine Tilgins’ fiber termination unit MSA970 the home gateway HG2314, and Tilgin’s TR-069 Auto Configuration Server, to manage the units.

Atec will be able to create the offering that is needed in every deployment by using the Flexible Premises Solution. With zero-touch provisioning and the simplicity of customer self-installation procedures Atec saves time and money.

“We have selected the Flexible Premises Solution to get maximum freedom at every customer installation,” says Riaan Janse van Rensburg, CTO of Atec. “The solution also optimizes the lifecycle cost, as the optical termination with all gigabit interfaces has a long life expectancy whereas the service dependent gateway has a short lifespan, due to the evolution of our offer.”

Tilgin launched the flexible premises concept in 2012 and since then it has become a complete solution with a solid business case. Market response was quickly positive and now operators in different countries are basing their FTTH/FTTB strategy on Tilgin’s solution.
