42Networks receives order to provide 3,000 FTTH CPEs in Panama
42Networks, a unit within PacketFront focusing on customer premises equipment (CPE) and Voice-over-IP software, is working in partnership with the Panama-based pay television and telecommunications company CTV Telecom, and Cisco partner and total system integrator Sonitel, to deliver 3000 fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) CPE solutions to the area.
CTV Telecom will be using the FTTH solution to implement a next generation IP network that will provide interactive and personalized pay television services, telephony and Internet. Implementing 42Network’s CPE solution will ensure all CTV Telecom’s services are delivered reliably and to a high quality throughout the entire network.

42Networks’ comprehensive line of CPE devices, means operators and service providers can offer flexible triple play services.
"This is an important step into the thriving Latin American region for us and we are very excited to be a part of this innovative CTV solution,” said Timo Kuusela, VP OEM Sales of 42Networks.
"We are delighted to have the co-operation of 42Networks,” said Eric Jethmal, Sonitel Networks Business Development Manager. ”With its flexible and open CPE solution, 42Networks has proven success with customers using VoIP and IPTV in an FTTH environment.”
