Gtd Group Selects Alcatel-Lucent to Deploy Fiber-to-the-Home Network

Posted on: Tuesday, 29 July 2008, 12:00 CDT

Gtd Group, a Chile-based provider of voice and video enabled networks, has selected Alcatel-Lucent to deploy network based on fiber-to-the-home gigabit passive optical network technology.

Installation and deployment of the gigabit passive optical network (GPON) network will start in the third quarter of 2008, initially serving residential broadband users in Santiago's Santa María de Manquehue district, with other neighborhoods of Chile's capital city following shortly after.

According to Alcatel-Lucent, its solution will enable Gtd Manquehue, which serves residential customers and small and medium businesses for the Gtd Group, to deliver advanced broadband services such as HDTV, IPTV, video on demand and high-speed internet. Alcatel-Lucent's GPON architecture also will enable Gtd Manquehue to migrate its traditional VoIP.

Gtd Manquehue will deploy the Alcatel-Lucent 7342 intelligent services access manager fiber-to-the-user and the Alcatel-Lucent 5520 access management system for element management.

Alberto Domínguez, general manager of Gtd Manquehue, said: "We selected GPON technology so we can offer our customers unlimited triple play and advanced business services backed with a richer quality of experience, which we think will better serve our residential and business customers and give us a competitive advantage in this market."
