Ericsson powers T-Com's broadband rollout with EDA in Germany
Ericsson has signed a frame agreement with Deutsche Telekom and its broadband/fixed-network business unit T-Com. T-Com will use Ericsson's cutting-edge EDA solution for the expansion of its German broadband network.
With EDA, Germany's leading fixed-network provider will bring its broadband services to areas where DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) has so far been unavailable. The rollout has already started for fiber-to-the-curb areas in Germany.
Under the agreement, Ericsson will deliver all nodes required for the different areas of the access network. Ericsson EDA will be completely integrated into the existing T-Com network architecture, allowing the operator to efficiently increase high-performance broadband coverage nationwide and increase speed up to 6Mbps.
Stefan Kindt, President, Ericsson Germany, says: "We are glad to support T-Com's expansion with fast broadband lines into regions where there is no access today. Our solution will also help T-Com to cut operating costs while maintaining the highest service quality."
Ericsson's EDA solution will be deployed in specified access networks without broadband-enabled fiber technology, defined by Germany's regulator as HYTAS95.
Ericsson EDA combines the highest-quality performance with multi-service functionality based on well-established Ethernet technology. It is the most scalable IP-DSLAM solution on the market. It lets operators develop their business beyond basic IP connectivity, ensuring the ability to offer triple-play services to home and office environments in a way that is cost-efficient and future-proof.
