SUNNYVALE, CA -- 11/09/09 --
Actiontec Electronics announced that two of
its DSL solutions have been selected to power MTS Allstream Inc.'s ("MTS Allstream")
high-speed residential DSL service. A wholly owned subsidiary of Manitoba
Telecom Services, MTS Allstream is one of Canada's leading national
communication solutions providers.
Actiontec Electronics has shipped more than 17.5 million Internet access
devices across the globe. Since launching its initial DSL modem to the market, Actiontec
has continued to stay in the forefront of industry standards, DSL and home
networking technologies. The company's experience in modem design and
supply-chain process delivers great value and affordability to carriers and
access providers.
"MTS Allstream is pleased to include Actiontec's innovative products in our
broadband service offering," said Kelvin Shepherd, President Consumer
Markets, MTS Allstream. "We look forward to working with Actiontec as they
play a key role in our ability to provide fast Internet speeds and a
dependable and energy efficient service to our customers."
MTS Allstream selected Actiontec's GT724WG 54
Mbps Wireless DSL Gateway and the GT701D USB/Ethernet DSL Modem. The
GT724WG combines a full-rate ADSL2+ modem, a 4 port Ethernet switch and
802.11g wireless gateway in a sleek, easy-to-use package. Support for the
ADSL2/2+ standard can triple the available bandwidth from 8 Mbps to 24 Mbps
-- giving bandwidth-hungry consumers the speed needed to enjoy fast
downloads, online entertainment, high quality video streams, and online
gaming. The gateway also includes an Internet firewall with four
user-configurable protection levels, as well as WEP security to protect the
home network from outside threats.
With an ENERGY STAR adapter and small footprint, the green GT701D
helps customers reduce their energy bills and protect the environment. The
compact device combines a full-rate ADSL2/2+ modem with a router capable of
networking two computers via wired ports, or more through a switch or hub.
"MTS Allstream's selection of our DSL solutions further validates the
worldwide reputation and leading performance of our products," said Brian
Henrichs, Chief Business Development Officer at Actiontec. "We look forward
