Overview:
Founded in 1999 by pioneers in networking, Simpler Networks is the last mile innovator. We engineer network solutions for local service providers to help them reduce their operational costs by automating labor-intensive processes at the distribution frame. Our EZ solutions redefine flow-through provisioning by automating central office and street cabinet distribution frames, removing the last bottleneck to delivering advanced services cost-effectively.
Our aggressive research and development program has resulted in our proprietary micro-electromechanical relay technology, or MEMS, which is the foundation of our solutions. MEMS delivers greater reliability, cost-savings and scalability than robotics-based solutions. Plus MEMS has no moving parts and the relays are latching, which means they retain their state in case of power failure.
Multi-service dial tone
Our vision is to allow end users to activate and deactivate their own services like VOD, and high-speed access on demand. Taking the vision one step further, we see them being able to activate services for short intervals, using precisely the services they need, when they need them—it's what we call multi-service dial tone.
To make this vision a reality, Simpler Networks has assembled world-class management and a group of technology experts from the telecommunications, cable and networking industries. Together, they are committed to pushing the limits of technology to help local service providers leverage their infrastructure for efficiency and profit. |

Vision:
Welcome to a simpler world…the world of Simpler Networks. To simplify, you have to be smart, innovative and know what's important. And what's important to the telecommunications industry is winning and keeping good customers, while controlling the costs involved in doing so. That's what it all boils down to.
So how do you get there? We founded Simpler Networks because we saw a simpler way of managing distribution frames, one that would both solve problems and create opportunities. Our approach would solve the problem of the bottlenecks that occur with copper distribution operations by automating distribution frames. And in automating the physical layer, we would create opportunities by making flow-through provisioning possible, to serve customers better and faster, thereby earning their loyalty.
So backed by seasoned investors in telecommunication, we launched a pioneering R&D program to develop the perfect solution that would bridge the gap between the technology local service providers have on hand, and the services they want to deliver.
Based on this research and development, Simpler Networks is now redefining flow-through. Our EZ line of solutions, developed using on proprietary technology, lets local service providers generate new streams of revenue, increase traffic and reduce costs all at the same time.
Our vision is that one day very soon, end users will be able to activate and deactivate their own services like VOD, and high-speed access on demand. Taking the vision one step further, they will be able to activate services for short intervals, using precisely the services they need when they need them—it's what we call multi-service dial tone. It's an ambitious project, but the technology we've developed is one giant step toward making it a reality, and we can see our goal on the horizon.
Our team members have been in the telecommunications industry long enough to know how complicated the challenges are. And complicated challenges are often best served by simple, but brilliant solutions. I hope you will join us as we work towards our vision. |

History:
In the last decade, new technology and deregulation have turned the telecommunications industry on its head. In response to these challenges, local service providers have had to reinvent themselves. It's been a moment of reassessment, but also one of incredible opportunity, with the creative thinkers and the innovators leading the pack.
The most pressing challenges local service providers face in this environment are:
increasing revenue
reducing capital expenditure
increasing Internet traffic
identifying solutions that bridge the gap between traditional networks and new technology
making new technologies available to customers
competing with cable companies that are offering voice and data
Responding to the challenge
Simpler Networks was created to help local service providers tackle these challenges, successfully and profitably. Co-founded in 1999 by leaders in the industry including Mike Perrault, President and Chief Operating Officer and Stéphane Ménard, Chief Technology Officer, Simpler Networks has built a management team of experts in the new challenges of telecommunications. |
