www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Du, an integrated telecoms service provider in the UAE has selected network access solutions provider Zhone Technologies’ Multiple Access Line Concentrator (MALC) Multi-service Access Node (MSAN) to deliver a range of IP access services to its fixed line customer base.

Vendor’s solution has been selected by Du to provide voice, Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM), ADSL2+ and ISDN BRI over IP to its residential and business customers as part of its IP network initiative.
