Cinergy Communications Deploys SanteraOne

Cinergy Communications, which offers local telephone service, long distance calling, Internet access/solutions and web hosting service in Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, will deploy the SanteraOne switching platform, replacing equipment made by Nortel and CopperComm. Cinergy, which is in the process of migrating its network from TDM to packet, plans to use the SanteraOne platform in both its local and long-distance networks to route tandem traffic and deliver both traditional and new IP-based Class 5 services. The first SanteraOne, under the three-and-one-half-year purchase agreement, has been installed in Evansville, Indiana and is in service today delivering Class 5 services. A second switch is already on order, which will be installed in Madisonville, Kentucky to provide Class 4 (IXC tandem) services throughout Cinergy Communications' multi-state network. Financial terms were not disclosed.
