Largo, Fla. — June 20, 2005 — Paradyne (NASDAQ: PDYN), a
leading provider of triple play
Broadband Loop Carriers(IP
BLCs), and Ethernet access
equipment, today announced an expanded relationship with Og Vodafone, marking
the first
BLC deployment in Iceland.
In a move to offer additional value-added triple play services, Og Vodafone has
elected to continue with the deployment of the
Paradyne 8000 series
platform as they transform their current ATM network to a more advanced IP-based
network. As part of the agreement, Paradyne will provide its ADSL2+ cards for
the
Paradyne 8000 BLCs. Triple play services including IPTV, Internet, and VoIP
will be available to more than 5,000 homes in the local area by the end of 2005.
“Og Vodafone is excited to have the ability to offer our customers a variety of
broadband solutions using Paradyne’s multi-service platforms,” said Örn Orrason,
vice president of networks, Og Vodafone. “We have used their 8000 series BLC
chassis for years now and they continue to show proven strength throughout the
access network. And more importantly, our previous investment in the 8000 series
platforms will be preserved since ATM is easily converted to IP with only a
simple change of the SCP card.”
“Paradyne is committed to helping service providers like Og Vodafone stay
competitive. This means having the ability to profitably offer IP-based triple
play solutions that can deliver advanced data and video services,” said Ken
Hood, vice president of product management and marketing, Paradyne. “We are very
pleased to be able to continue our relationship with Og Vodafone and play a part
in their next-generation network deployments.”

platform. The
