28-07-2010
Will benefit 600,000 households and businesses
Ericsson said Tuesday it has been awarded a fiber-to-the-home contract from Radius Infratel, an Indian telecom infrastructure provider. Some 600,000 households and businesses will get high-capacity broadband access, which will use the latest technology from Ericsson. This is Ericsson's largest fibre-to-home order in the country
"Using the technology, Radius can also provide building services, such as parking management, access control, automated lighting, and security services, through a single integrated infrastructure"
"Consumers will be able to enjoy internet speeds of up to 100 mega bits per second, internet TV, and the most bandwidth-intensive entertainment available from multiple operator on single fibre reaching to their homes."
Radius said more than half a million Indian subscribers will get connected through fixed broadband as it had already started connecting Indian homes with high-speed fibre access in 2009. "We expect that by 2015 more than two million Indian homes and businesses will be connected to high speed broadband using our technology," added Gowton Achaibar, the head of India region for Ericsson.
