Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan’s leading service provider, is to commence the world’s first commercial deployment of G.fast ultra-broadband access technology.
Chunghwa Telecom is conducting a nationwide roll-out of FTTx (fiber-to-the-premises) infrastructure to residential and business customers using a combination of fiber and copper technology from Alcatel-Lucent. Specifically, CHT will use a combination of Alcatel-Lucent’s fiber and G.fast technology as part of their FTTx strategy including:
- 7368 Intelligent Service Access Manager (ISAM) Optical Network Terminals (ONTs)
- 7368 Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) CPE with integrated reverse power
- 5520 Access Management System to accelerate last mile fiber-to-the-home ultra-broadband connectivity while taking advantage of reduced costs and complexity.
Alcatel-Lucent said its G.fast technology has already been in trials with more than 30 operators worlwide.
