Ericsson selected by Deutsche Telekom for VDSL2 deployments in 12 cities across Germany
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) and leading German operator Deutsche Telekom have signed a contract to deploy Ericsson's VDSL2 solution, a cutting-edge broadband access solution, provided through Ericsson's EDA 1200. The move will step up the rollout of innovative broadband services across Germany's largest cities, where users will enjoy high-speed internet access with downlink speeds up to 50Mbps.
Ericsson's EDA 1200 VDSL2 solution is based on Ethernet technology and is designed to support large-scale broadband rollouts quickly and cost-effectively. The future-proof solution supports triple-play services and underpins Deutsche Telekom's T-Home offering. The VDSL2 platform will also be managed by Ericsson's ServiceOn Access, a multi-technology network management system allowing end-to-end management of the high-speed network.
Torbjörn Possne, Head of Global Account Deutsche Telekom and Head of Market Unit Northern Europe at Ericsson, says: "This contract is a significant milestone in our relationship with Deutsche Telekom and will provide cutting-edge broadband access technology and exceptional telecommunications services to Deutsche Telekom's customers."
Ericsson's EDA 1200 VDSL2 solution received the International Engineering Consortium IEC InfoVision Award in 2006 for being the best and most innovative access network technology.
