Paducah Power System, a municipally owned electric distribution utility service in Kentucky, has selected Alcatel’s fiber-to-the-user (FTTU) and OmniSwitch enterprise data infrastructure range to expand its network. This is Alcatel’s second FTTU deployment in Kentucky. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Paducah will deploy the Alcatel OmniSwitch product family to deliver next generation Gigabit Ethernet services to its power substations. All substations, connected via redundant GigE links, will also be used to transport voice, video, data, and multimedia services for Paducah’s FTTU network. http://www.alcatel.com
