Alcatel-Lucent announced it will transform A1 Telekom Austria's fixed broadband network, using its fixed access, IP routing and optical transport technologies. The deployment will enable A1 to accelerate the roll-out of high-quality, high-bandwidth services and deliver on the national broadband initiative goal of connecting 99 percent of homes at 100 Mbps speeds. A1 Telekom Austria will deploy Alcatel-Lucent's G.fast and Vplus ultra-broadband access technologies, enabling the acceleration of fibre-to-the-building and fibre-to-the-cabinet deployments while delivering substantially faster data speeds to subscribers using its existing copper infrastructure. Additionally the convergence of its IP and optical network, using Alcatel-Lucent's IP core and routing technologies, will drive simplification and transform operations, allowing A1 to realise new cost efficiencies.
