Introduction
Broadband access is known to be the fastest growing
technology in the telecommunications history.
With the EDA broadband access concept, Ericsson has
for several years demonstrated technology leadership
on the broadband market — First, by introducing the
world’s first Ethernet-based IP DSLAM, then by
constantly adding new and innovative features to secure
an optimal end-to-end solution.
Now Ericsson takes the next step by introducing a cost-
efficient, environmentally hardened VDSL2 solution.
Ideal for fiber-deep deployment close to the end-user
and perfectly suited for migration on existing
installations, as well as for new customers.
Since the early EDA 1200 days, Ericsson has been
shaping and promoting the IP and Ethernet-based
architecture. The Ethernet-based architecture (TR-101)
has been standardized by DSL Forum, and is seen as
the future architecture for telecom operators for years to
come.
Market shares have been constantly growing with EDA
1200 and leading European customers have selected
EDA 1200 as their preferred technology.
