| | | yes it is the LE-46. I've worked with the iProvo network for a year and half now. Service providers are bypassing the internal TA and adding a Lynxsys PAP-2 for an external TA. This is very costly however. Broadweave has the right idea. They should replace them all and do the upgrade now. | |
|
| | World Wide Packets The Gateways or Access Portals used in iProvo are the World Wide Packets Lightning Edge Access. Based on a quick visual I think it's the LE 46.

| | Broadweave's Gateways Broadweave is going to replace the WWP/Ciena gear with Cisco and gateways from Telco Systems. The biggest problem is that Telco Systems doesn't work for triple play. It just doesn't. So unless the company fixes video buffering problems, etc. this will be another boondoggle. Good luck to them, but I think there will be an onslaught of problems trying to integrate all of the technical pieces and migrate NuVont and MSTAR customers, plus the Veracity/Broadweave merger...Watch for big (multiple) apologies from Broadweave who will blame the other service providers so it doesn't reflect on them. | |

| | | Re: Broadweave's Gateways It seems as though someone hasn't read anything about the equipment from Telco systems.
Broadweave has triple play working over Telco systems gear. There are no video buffer problems. The video buffer problems referred to here are from the Amino 120 set top boxes. I believe the iProvo techs found most of those problems and were switching them out for the ADB's. The problem is not a gateway issues, as the gateway is just a pass through the device. This is an iFrame problem and buffer problem with out of date and inferior set-top-boxes. | |

| | Broadweave has issues Provo has Worldwide Packet CPEs deployed. There have been some issues related to the on-board IAD. These issues have been mostly compatibility issues between the WWP IAD and the service providers choice of softswitch. This is easily bypassed by hanging a $30 alternative IAD on of one of the CAT5 ports.
WWP has spent countless manhours attemping to become more compatible with the various softswitches the iProvo group has thrown at them. They have gone far and above.
Broadweave intends to replace the WWP CPE with a Telco Systems CPE. It has less ports and it has less function. They will actually spend millions to replace a superior device with an inferior one. Go figure? You can't tell them anything, they already know everything. After all they have a few hundred customers. | |
