TDC Net selects Nokia for XGS-PON deployment

Nokia has been selected as the sole supplier by TDC Net to connect more than one million homes and businesses in Denmark with XGS-PON fibre. Starting in Copenhagen, Odense, Aarhus and Alborg, the upgrade is being implemented for selected existing customers as well as new fibre addresses. TDC Net is moving towards a converged network that will use both GPON and XGS-PON technology for consumers; the single fibre access platform will allow TDC Net to streamline its service delivery and to increase revenues. Michael Frankle, Executive Vice President and Head of Technology at TDC Net, said: ‘With Nokia’s ISAM FX converged platform we will be able to serve residential customers and enterprises from the same platform and deliver the Gigabit experience they need in their daily life and to run their business. Fibre deployment is a key contribution to our strategy. Nokia’s superior technology will play a key role in realising this for the benefit of our customers.’
