Ericsson chosen by TeliaSonera to boost fixed broadband network
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Meeting consumers' and enterprises' demand for fixed high speed broadband
* Enabling new multimedia services and high-definition TV
* Ericsson chosen as sole supplier of one million access lines
* Improving speed in existing copper access network
TeliaSonera is upgrading its fixed broadband access network to offer businesses
and consumers media-rich services such as high-definition TV, live video
streaming and online gaming. Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) provides the broadband
access network of one million lines based on VDSL2 technology.
Mikael Bäckström, Head of Ericsson Nordic and Baltics, says: "Operators'
decision to move from ADSL to VDSL2 is in line with consumers' need to get more
bandwidth at home. Combining the strength of its fiber access with existing
copper access is an effective and fast way to deliver nationwide high-speed
broadband."
Internet use in Sweden is widespread, and according to Swedish statistics,
almost 90 percent of households have home access. The goal for Swedish
authorities is to secure access to even higher broadband speeds of up to 100
Mbit/s.
Ove Alm, Senior Vice President of TeliaSonera Networks, says: "Enhancing our
fixed broadband network will meet the booming demand for bandwidth. By boosting
the speeds in both our fixed and mobile networks, our customers will be able to
reach their personalized services irrespective of where they are and what device
they are using."
Under the agreement Ericsson will deliver EDA 1200 based on VDSL2 technology and
related installation services. The contract includes Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
Deployment starts in Sweden and will run over the next 12 months.
The VDSL2-based technology offers unprecedented speeds on existing copper lines,
opening up new opportunities for operators to provide customers with high-speed
broadband services. By using VDSL2, operators can extend its fiber connections
into existing copper lines in the last mile, and thereby maximize the reuse of
the existing infrastructure.
