Occam Networks Strengthens Southern Europe As Optronics Technologies Of Greece Joins Its Reseller Network

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. and LONDON, United Kingdom – August 31, 2010 – Occam Networks®, Inc. (Nasdaq: OCNW) a leading broadband access supplier offering multi-service access platform (MSAP) solutions based on pure packet technologies, announced today that it has strengthened its presence in Southern Europe by signing Optronics Technologies S.A. of Athens as part of its rapidly growing EMEA reseller network.

Optronics, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, specialises in fibre optics and optoelectronics. It is well recognised across Greece and Cyprus for its installation of fibre optic-based LAN and WAN networks for both publicly and privately-owned networks. It also has its own production facilities for fibre optic accessories and components and can develop customised solutions for its customers through its own laboratories if required.

“We have been in the forefront of fibre optic technology for 20 years and our clients know that they can rely on our technical knowledge, experience and support we can give,” said Ilias Koukouvinos, Managing Director of Optronics, which is currently in the design phase for an innovative project expected to result in the first GPON network in Greece.

“We are delighted to join the Occam network because we recognise the expertise they bring, the experience they have and also the flexibility of their product range, which allows customers to make a relatively small initial commitment if required and then build up their network as they choose”.

Optronics supplies PTTs, alternative carriers, Universities, Institutes, Contractors and Private companies.

“As demand for increased bandwidth from both residential and enterprise users escalates, European network operators of all sizes are selecting fibre technologies such as Ethernet and GPON as the infrastructure solution of choice,” said Russ Sharer, VP of Marketing at Occam Networks.

“This fits ideally with our range of products and with Optronics we have a partner that is tremendously experienced and respected in its market. They also have a considerable track record and a capability that is much wider than the norm – with training, production and laboratory resources at their fingertips. We are delighted to have been able to add them to our network”.
