In the deep analysis of the Italian broadband market competition pattern and access technology development trend later, Fastweb prospectively established based on copper wire Vectoring techniques to outdoor cabinet (FTTC) solution is given priority to with 100 m of the ultra high speed broadband access, future smooth upgrade to G.f ast technology, further improve the copper wire bandwidth ten times broadband development strategy. Huawei provide site level Vectoring solutions, can support at the same site between different equipment Vectoring, satisfied the regulators to copper wire the requirements of opening, and ensure that all users are can get ultra-high speed bandwidth.
Alberto Calcagno Fastweb general manager said: "with huawei's cooperation, will be our network speed bring innovation and breakthrough at present VDSL technology of 100 m bandwidth limit.
