Almere, The Netherlands, 10 October 2012 - Pacific Broadband Networks (PBN) announced today that KNÖV-NetT Bordesholm has reconfirmed PBN as its long-term partner and FTTH-solution provider. KNÖVNetT currently serves 500 homes within its existing PBN-equipped FTTH network, and will install more equipment from PBN to increase growth to 1.000 homes by 2014. KNÖV-NetT selected PBN’s AOCM6000 product family, also PBN’s HFC-overlay solution, for the future deployment of its high-end FTTH network in and around Bordesholm, North of Hamburg, Germany. At the end of 2010, KNÖV-NetT began to construct its fiber network infrastructure, including two headends to serve a significant part of the network. Recently, in order to ensure a perfect balance of capacity and coverage, KNÖV-NetT made the decision to add strategically-situated outdoor POPs to its network. KNÖVNetT selected PBN's FTTH products for its first outdoor POP, because PBN offers a fully-integrated FTTH solution that includes both hardware and software. In particular, PBN’s NMS3 software suite enables easy operation of KNÖV-NetT’s data, voice, telephony and CATV-overlay services, together with future expansion capability. |

PBN’s FTTH solution is built around the AOCM6000 carrier-grade switch and routing platform, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet CPEs, all managed using PBN’s NMS3 software suite. PBN hardware provides the speed and quality that KNÖV-NetT requires, and the NMS3 management and provisioning software is capable of simultaneously managing several networks and headends. PBN's integrated FTTH solution is the perfect tool to enable KNÖV-NetT to realize the ongoing growth of their FTTH activities. Mr Pieter Dhondt, Director of Sales EMEA of PBN, said “By choosing PBN, KNÖVNetT found a provider with a reputation for helping both new start-ups and established Tier 2 & 3 operators. The onestop infrastructure solution from PBN integrates well with existing workflows and, combined with PBN's many years of industry experience, ensures KNÖV-NetT a minimum of OPEX and maximum flexibility for the future.”Mr Frank Günther, General Manager KNÖV-NetT Bordesholm, said “PBN's operator-friendly FTTH solution gives KNÖV-NetT the ability to focus on serving their customers instead of attending to their network. This is all due to the very compelling NMS3-software application used within the FTTH solution from PBN."
