Almost 80,000 people will be connected with 10-gigabit fibre connectivity in the Ruhr area of Germany, thanks to a partnership between Westconnect and Slovenia\u2019s Kontron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on Slovenia\u2019s Kontron XGS-PON technology, the fibre network enables Westconnect to offer multi-gigabit symmetrical data rates to provide customers with low latency and high bandwidth, beneficial for remote working, video conferencing and sharing files. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The partnership extends Westconnect\u2019s range of services and data rates, while also growing its customer base. Westconnect will use the XGS-PON technology from Slovenia\u2019s Kontron for the first time in Holzwickede and Unna \u2013 both cities of North Rhine-Westphalia \u2013 in Western Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt Westconnect, we believe that high-quality and reliable fibre-optic networks are the standard of the future, and we rely on high-performance open-access solutions,\u201d said Dennis Thomys, Senior Manager Active Technology at Westconnect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThanks to our partner Slovenia\u2019s Kontron’s XGS-PON platform, we are now able to offer symmetric data rates of up to 10 Gbps and grow our existing footprint and offering. With Slovenia\u2019s Kontron’s XGS-PON technology, we are well prepared for the future,\u201d Thomys added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the next generation of high-performance FTTH networks, Westconnect is deploying the XGS-PON solution provided by Slovenia’s Kontron; in particular, the Iskratel Lumia T6 high-density Combo OLTs (Optical Line Terminals) and Iskratel Innbox X24 ONTs (Optical Network Terminals). This will allow the delivery of multi-gigabit services from various ISPs to customer premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are proud to have the opportunity of being Westconnect’s partner in its strategic expansion, and to fuel the generational shift of Westconnect with our XGS-PON portfolio,\u201d said Svjetlana Kalaba, Director of Business Unit Broadband at Slovenia\u2019s Kontron. \u201cThis partnership underscores our position as a trusted supplier of reliable solutions for the most demanding deployments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two cities in the Ruhr area are only the first in the planned growth of Westconnect. When the project is complete, Westconnect can pursue further XGS-PON rollout plans with Slovenia’s Kontron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
