2Wire Ships 3K HomePortal, Tripling Residential Gateway Sales in 16 MonthsSource:
2Wire.ComSan Jose, California - July 11, 2005 - Only seven months after shipping its two-millionth HomePortal® residential gateway, 2Wire has shipped its three-millionth unit, marking a 300% increase in total units shipped since January 2004.
“This increase in volume is indicative of a greater industry trend,” said Brian Sugar, 2Wire’s vice president of marketing. “As telecom providers extend their networks into the subscribers’ homes, competitive differentiation is moving beyond simple data transmission and networking speeds. 2Wire’s gateways, management systems, and subscriber support have taken the raw power of broadband and transformed it into a seamless, fully integrated customer experience of the telecom triple play.”
2Wire’s customers consist of the world’s major DSL broadband service providers, including telcos in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
“SBC has worked closely with 2Wire for several years to provide our subscribers with premium, future-proof broadband access and networking,” said Ed Cholerton, vice president of SBC DSL. “The HomePortal residential gateway has met the needs of our DSL strategy in the past, and continues to complement our integration strategy.”
