ADC Krone Wins DSL ContractADC Krone Wins DSL Contract

BERLIN -- ADC KRONE announced today that its distributor, Belgrade-based Crony, has assisted in selling ADC KRONE WorldDSL(tm) solutions to Telekom Srpska, a European incumbent telecommunications operator based in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"This is a milestone for ADC KRONE, marking the first major deployment of our 2-pair G.SHDSL solution into a PTT network," said Mark McDonald, vice president of product management and marketing for the company's Wireline Systems Business. "With Crony's assistance in securing G.SHDSL deployment with Telekom Srpska, ADC KRONE believes opportunities now exist to extend our deployments to the broader carrier market."

PTTs in Europe are migrating from HDSL technology to G.SHDSL technology in order to deliver E1 business services to their customers. The HDSL technology often caused interference with ADSL signals, while G.SHDSL does not interfere with ADSL. As the market moves to G.SHDSL technology, ADC KRONE has developed a solution that includes the delivery of E1 services as well as 10/100 BT services. Now carriers can offer native Local Area Network (LAN) interfaces to their business customers enabling more efficient LAN connections to the public network.

The selection process won by ADC KRONE was a competitive bid among several G.SHDSL providers.
