FASTWEB to deploy Thomson's wireless VoIP residential gateway
Thomson has been selected by FASTWEB - Italy's second largest fixed telephony operator and the first player worldwide to develop an all IP network for Triple Play service delivery - for the deployment of multi-play services to its customers.
The FASTWEB platform is said to be the first wireless VoIP gateway on the Italian market with integrated DECT capabilities designed to support FASTWEB feature-rich services and enable service providers to broaden the outreach of multimedia services in the networked home.
At the heart of the networked home, the gateway will manage the various existing multimedia equipment. It includes the "zero touch" installation feature which enables a rapid and plug and play-like set up.
Over the gateway, FASTWEB delivers services such as Internet telephony and wireless Internet access to its customers. The product includes the DECT capability via the phone and its separate charger, for high quality phone calls. It is a standards-based solution which supports the TR-69 remote management protocol, allowing operators to automatically update the hub in order to deploy new services easily and efficiently. The hardware base of the gateway is also future-proof and ready to enable additional services such as IPTV.
"FASTWEB is committed to driving the adoption of new broadband services and technologies that can improve the experience of our customers. Confident in Thomson's expertise, we have chosen them as the supplier of our platform which will enable us to offer our customers an even larger portfolio of multimedia and converged services," said Guido Roda, Director ICT Services for FASTWEB.
"We are very pleased to continue our collaboration on broadband technology with FASTWEB, this time demonstrating our ability to develop cutting-edge technology to meet FASTWEB's innovative business strategy," said Bruno Fabre of Thomson's Systems Division. "This announcement reinforces Thomson's position as a world leader in the provision of advanced customer premises solutions that enable operators and service providers to deliver their customers the most advanced services".
