Alcatel-Lucent and Nordics operator Teliasonera have announced the deployment of the first 100Mbps VDSL2-based access network in Finland, enabling the delivery of a full-blown (high-definition) IPTV service offering across the country.

Teliasonera’s fibre-to-the-building (FTTB) architecture makes use of fibre cables that are trenched from the operator’s central offices to the basement of (apartment) buildings.

From there, the end-users are offered ‘very high-speed broadband applications’ over the existing, in-building copper wires. The architecture is based on Alcatel-Lucent’s 7354 ISAM FTTB Remote Unit – which has been designed for cabinet and multiple dwelling unit (MDU) deployments, the company informed.

Alcatel-Lucent also will provide a range of professional services related to the network roll-out project.
