Enhanced relationship “This design and assign functionality gives Cincinnati Bell the power to provision and manage its inventory in a simple yet powerful manner,” said Chris Beisner, ETI vice president of product management. The two companies have worked together on several projects that have helped Cincinnati Bell grow its fiber network capabilities, including video, voice and data provisioning via multiple interfaces. “We are gaining market share because we have invested in the technology and support that we need to offer leading-edge products to both our commercial and residential customers,” said Beerman. “Our history of success with ETI is why we continue to turn to them.”

Enhanced Telecommunications (ETI) has extended its relationship with Cincinnati Bell to provide its solutions through 2017, including a complex migration of commercial subscribers from T1 copper to fiber. “ETI already provides automated provisioning for our fiber network that enables Fioptics Internet and entertainment service availability at nearly 400,000 addresses in our footprint,” said Ron Beerman, vice president of network operations at Cincinnati Bell. “ETI’s software solutions will now manage a growing portion of the commercial side as well.” The T1 circuit management module allows Cincinnati Bell to automatically re-provision T1 copper records to its existing FTTH technologies.
