Founded:
In 1999 by telecommunications industry veterans including Mike Perrault and Stéphane Ménard, who pioneered the concept and the development of automated distribution frames.

Ownership:
Private

Focus:
In a word, automation. We remove the bottlenecks that occur with copper distribution operations by automating distribution frames for local service providers.

Vision:
To allow end users to activate and deactivate their own services, through multi-service dial tone. This takes flow-through provisioning one step further, making on-demand services possible.

Product:
The EZ line of products, with versions for automating the labor-intensive process of manipulating central office and street cabinet distribution frames, regardless of the networking equipment used.

Intellectual property:
Patent pending micro-relay technology, based on MEMS, the technological backbone of the EZ line of products.

Market:
Local service providers worldwide.
