Copenhagen, August 4, 2014 – NTE, one of the largest utility companies in Norway has selected Icotera as its CPE partner for the company’s introduction of a new and more effective delivery method for its optical fiber services to the business market. This partnership enables a new and automated value-chain for NTE Market by using the IGW-3000-P2P CPE gateway, delivered by Icotera.

In addition, NTE acknowledges the benefit of Icotera’s sophisticated in-house technical support together with R&D, production, service & support - all located in Europe, as an important parameter for choosing Icotera.

The network is built and managed  by NTE, which will also deliver the services to the CPE, as well as customer service and technical support locally.
