MTS Allstream (News - Alert) Inc.'s, a wholly owned subsidiary of Manitoba Telecom Services and one of Canada's national communication solutions providers, has selected Actiontec Electronics’ (News - Alert) DSL solutions to power high-speed residential DSL service.

Kelvin Shepherd, president consumer markets, MTS Allstream, said that MTS Allstream is pleased to include Actiontec's innovative products in our broadband service offering, and that the company looks forward to working with Actiontec.

Actiontec Electronics officials said that MTS Allstream selected Actiontec's GT724WG 54 Mbps Wireless DSL Gateway (News - Alert) and the GT701D USB/Ethernet DSL Modem. 

The company officials said that the GT724WG combines a full-rate ADSL2+ modem, a four port Ethernet switch and 802.11g wireless gateway in a sleek, easy-to-use package. 

With an ENERGY STAR (News - Alert) adapter and small footprint, the green GT701D helps customers reduce their energy bills and protect the environment. 

The compact device combines a full-rate ADSL2/2+ modem with a router capable of networking two computers via wired ports, or more through a switch or hub.

“MTS Allstream's selection of our DSL solutions further validates the worldwide reputation and leading performance of our products,” Brian Henrichs, chief business development officer at Actiontec, said.
