By 2014, Internet penetration in Brazil is expected to increase by 79 percent from 200 levels. By implementing this network, Hoje Telecom expects to leverage this growth and provide thousands of previously unconnected users with Internet access.
The solution allows Hoje Telecom to use its existing legacy equipment and also provides flexibility and scalability to add more users and features as the network grows. Advantech also will upgrade the network to provide ACM operation to maximize bandwidth use.
