TDC Group and Nokia increase Danish broadband speeds to deliver better customer experience
November 28 2016 - 8:08AM
Press Release
Danish Telecommunications provider TDC Group and Nokia are
upgrading the Danish broadband network to deliver ultra-broadband
speeds, new service bundles and a renewed customer experience to
citizens and enterprises across the country. This
ultra-broadband fixed network is a step towards realizing the
digital society TDC Group is aiming for, connecting people
throughout the country, building smart cities and helping
businesses grow. It will bring faster upload and download speeds, a
better IPTV experience, and faster and more efficient cloud
services for businesses.
In order to deliver these ultra-broadband speeds, TDC Group is
rolling out VDSL2 35b Vplus technology, building further on its
existing VDSL2 Vectoring network. This technology is a perfect
match for operators who need to deliver the highest possible speeds
in a cost-effective way on medium-length loops. Moving from VDSL2
17a (vectoring) to VDSL2 35b (Vplus) requires only a simple upgrade
to the existing Nokia DSLAMs and can be done seamlessly and
quickly.
Peter Trier Schleidt, COO, at TDC Group,
commented: "We have a clear ambition to offer the best
connections to the Danes. Regardless of where its subscribers live,
TDC Group offers a mobile, broadband and TV solution. We want to do
even better, particularly for rural areas, and therefore we are
very pleased that Vplus technology lets us use our old copper
connections in new ways to benefit our customers. We expect many
customers to experience a clear improvement in their broadband
speeds and entertainment offerings when we roll out Vplus
technology."
Federico Guillén, president of Nokia's Fixed Networks
Group, added: "The need for speed is driven by human
impatience. Broadband subscribers want ever-higher speeds to enjoy
video, gaming, cloud services and the like. The fastest way to get
there is by a phased approach and gradual upgrades of the existing
copper network infrastructure, which allows service providers like
TDC to bring much higher speeds to more people in a much shorter
timeframe."
Did you know?
- Vplus doubles VDSL2 spectrum from 17 to 35MHz for as much as
double the speed on intermediate loop lengths, making it ideal for
Fiber-to-the-cabinet deployments.
- Vplus fills the gap between VDSL2 vectoring and G.fast with
aggregate speeds of 200 Mbps+ up to 500 meters and 300 Mbps+ up to
250 meters.
- Nokia brought Vplus to the ITU for adoption and it is now
standardized as the VDSL2 35b profile.
- Nokia was first to market Vplus products. In the meantime, we
deployed 9 commercial Vplus networks and conducted another 13 Vplus
trials around the world.
- According to a report from the OECD dated December 2015,
Denmark has the second biggest fixed broadband penetration in the
world of 42.4%, about half of which is on copper including
Fiber-to-the-cabinet, and the rest divided over coax and
fiber.
Products
As part of the contract, Nokia will be providing Nokia 7302 ISAM
FD Equipment, with VDSL2 35b Vplus technology, and upgrading the
existing Nokia 7330 ISAM FD shelves where needed with Vplus capable
line cards.
