Occam Gains RUS Listing for Broadband Loop Carrier

Occam Networks' BLC 6000 Broadband Loop Carrier is now available on the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) List of Materials. The BLC 6000 "triple play" broadband loop carrier received acceptance from the RUS committee at the conclusion of a successful field trial with Virginia-based Citizens Telephone Cooperative. The RUS listing enables qualified rural telephone companies like Citizens to purchase products such as the BLC 6000 with long-term, low-interest loans from the U.S. government with the goal of providing rural areas with the same services as those available to larger metropolitan areas. http://www.occamnetworks.com
