Alcatel-Lucent supplies FTTH gear for Swisscom's 1-Gbps broadband services

摘要

Alcatel-Lucent is supplying its 7302 Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) to Swisscom to enable the Swiss Tier 1 to deliver 1-Gbps services via fiber to the home (FTTH) to a million households. The PON systems support an overall upgrade of Swisscom's FTTH infrastructure that the carrier expects will connect a third of Swiss households by 2015. Overall, Swisscom plans to provide "ultra-broadband" services to 85% of Switzerland's homes and businesses by 2020 via a combination of FTTx approaches. The carrier began marketing the 1-Gbps services to customers late last year.
