Norway’s largest power utility company, Hafslund, selected PacketFront to build an open access FTTH network in Østlandet, the area in and around Oslo. The network will be open access and thus open to all service providers who wish to offer services through it. In the first stage, Hafslund will offer IPTV and other broadband services to selected cooperative housing areas in Oslo. PacketFront’s partner, NetNordic, will be responsible for the integration of Hafslund’s FTTH network. In addition, Datametrix will be responsible for the installation of the core network.
PacketFront described the project as one of the most important contracts in the Norwegian telecom sector. Financial terms were not disclosed.
