Fastweb unveils plan to bring fibre to 100 Italian cities
2014-09-26 16:30:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Italian broadband operator Fastweb has announced a new plan to expand its next-generation access network to over 100 Italian cities by the end of 2016. The new project comes two years after the operator initiated a EUR 400 million investment plan to bring fibre to 20 percent of Italian households and companies by the end of 2016. With the September 2012 initiative nearing completion, Fastweb has now pledged to bring ultrafast broadband to 27 percent of the population or 7.5 million households and businesses in over 100 cities by the end of 2016, some 2 million more than its original plan. Around 5.5 million households and businesses will have access to the operator's FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) network, while a further 2 million will be connected to Fastweb's FTTH (fibre to the home) network. In a statement Fastweb confirmed that the expanded fibre deployment plan will not alter its expected Capex trend due to a re-allocation of funds from existing infrastructure. The operator's total investments in 2015 will be around EUR 500 million or 10 percent lower than its Capex for 2014. It added that it would meet its year-end target of 3.5 million potential customers covered by over 13,000 new street cabinets.

Telefonica, Huawei testing 1 Gbps fibre service - report
2014-09-22 09:12:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telefonica and Huawei have carried out initial trials on the operator's Spanish network with a view to offering a 1 Gbps download and upload fibre service by 2015, reports business daily Expansion. When launched, the symmetric 1 Gbps service would be ten times faster than the 100 Mbps download service that Telefonica currently offers under its Movistar brand. Upload speeds, meanwhile, would be one hundred times the highest possible theoretical speed available under Movistar's best current offer. According to the report, Telefonica is employing Huawei's Next-Generation PON Evolution (NGPON) technology in the trials, which would allow the operator to offer even faster speeds in the future. In a bid to put pressure on its rivals, especially Vodafone and Orange, Telefonica has already confirmed plans to increase the speed of its FTTH service to 200 Mbps download and upload in the next few weeks. The symmetric 200 Mbps service will replace the current 100 Mbps download/10 Mbps upload service and will be rolled out progressively in urban areas. The only other Spanish operator currently offering a symmetric 200 Mbps service is Jazztel, which is the subject of a EUR 3.4 billion takeover bid by Orange.
