T-Com, the fixed network division of Deutsche Telekom AG, plans to initially invest 500 million euros into the construction of a high-speed network. The project includes the use of VDSL2 (Very Fast Digital Subscriber Line) technology, an advanced version of today’s popular DSL technology. The first stage will extend the network to ten German cities. As a major T-Com partner, Siemens will supply the world’s first fully standard-compliant VDSL2 systems. The network components from the Siemens Surpass product portfolio will enable T-Com to offer top-quality television and video services to its customers over DSL lines.
“With our SURPASS portfolio we provide network operators with network infrastructures that can be managed easily and cost-effectively and open the door for attractive triple-play services, i.e. fast internet access, high-quality communication services and entertainment offerings over a single pipe,” said Christian Unterberger, head of Fixed Networks at Siemens Communications. “T-Com’s decision in favor of our concept is proof that we are moving in the right direction with our broadband strategy.”
