Chattanooga, Tennessee gets 1Gbps broadband access |
|
|
Alcatel-Lucent has said that its gigabit passive optical network (GPON) product portfolio has enabled the world’s first commercial 1Gbps access networks – enabling service providers across Asia, Europe and North America to deliver 1Gbps broadband access to residential and business customers.  Access to 1Gbps broadband, says the company, be it at home or in the office, is no longer a distant future. Alcatel-Lucent says with bandwidth requirements growing at an average rate of 20% per year, service providers have started to prepare their networks for the delivery of the next generation of fixed broadband services, with some already offering 1Gbps commercially. These include EPB in Chattanooga, Tenn (US), Hong Kong Broadband Network Ltd and ZON Multimedia, Portugal, all powered by Alcatel-Lucent’s GPON equipment. “With our recent introduction of the 1 gigabit per second product, Chattanooga residents – both urban and rural - have access to Internet speeds over 200 times the national average,” says David Wade, Executive Vice President and COO of EPB in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He said this is the fastest Internet offer to a city in the US. |
