Telkom SA Deploys VDSL2 With Huawei

JOHANNESBURG -- Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today announced it has been selected to deploy the next-generation ultra-broadband network access for Telkom South Africa. By employing Huawei’s SingleFAN solution, the network will achieve a downlink rate of up to 100 Mbit/s per user, providing enhanced products and services including voice, data, and IPTV. Deployment of the countrywide network will involve four million users.

Telkom, Africa’s largest integrated communications company, provides integrated communications solutions to both homes and enterprises in South Africa. To maintain its competitive advantage and further grow its market share, Telkom will migrate its fixed network to a fibre-based ultra-broadband network, thereby increasing its access bandwidth, and helping to address voice and data service challenges.
