NEC Wins GPON Deal

LONDON -- NEC Europe has today announced that it has been selectedto provide a fibre solution for the Swedish network operator, Svenska Fibernät AB, that produces ten times faster broadband than the current network. The new network will provide Swedish property owners the opportunity to offer their tenants access to high-speed broadband.

Svenska Fibernät AB will immediately start to offer its customers NEC’s fibre solutions which are based on the AM3100 series multi-service access nodes (MSAN). MSAN supports gigabyte-capable passive optical networks (GPON) where the individual user can access broadband speeds up to 1 Gbps. This is much faster than alternative solutions and ten times faster than the typical network speed of 100Mbps.

“Customer demand for higher speeds makes it all the more attractive for network operators to invest in optical nets for high-speed communication,” says Richard Hanscott, Vice President of Network Solutions, NEC Europe.
