Optelian Establishes Mexican Operations

Optical Transport Systems provider Optelian expands into the Mexican marketplace.

Mexico City, Mexico – February 26, 2008 – Optelian, an established provider of optical transport systems, has made a commitment to the Mexican telecom market by establishing in-country operations, initially consisting of sales, customer service, and technical support.  In addition to serving the Mexican market, this will serve as the headquarters for other Latin American markets.

 “Optelian has achieved success by being close to our customers to ensure we understand and meet their needs.  Our decision to establish in-country operations in Mexico is a continuation of our customer focus philosophy that has been successful for us in the rest of North America.  We look forward to a long and successful business in Mexico”, said Mike Perry, President of Optelian.

LightGAIN is a family of optical transport products – a universal platform with solutions for regional, metro, and access networks.  It can be a regional (long-haul) 40+ channel DWDM configuration carrying mixed traffic from 10M to 10Gbps, traversing 1,000 km with multiple add-drop nodes along the way.  Or, it can be a simple access oriented 8-channel CWDM solution. In both cases LightGAIN is the most cost effective carrier-grade solution available.

“EDC is pleased to help facilitate Optelian’s operations by providing market expertise and a global ARI solution.  Our goal is to assist Canadian companies export goods and services to other countries and we look forward to helping Optelian replicate in Mexico the business success they have achieved in Canada and the United States”, said Michel Villeneuve, Chief Representative, Mexico, Export Development Canada.
