Go, with the help of Alcatel-Lucent, is delivering superfast broadband services including video, high-speed internet access and voice services to subscribers throughout the country.

Michael Mertsch, chief technical officer at Go said: “We are committed to address our customers’ needs for higher bandwidth, faster speeds and enhanced reliability while reusing much of our existing infrastructure, helping reduce our investment costs. Alcatel-Lucent’s expertise is helping us to modernise today’s network with tomorrow’s capabilities.”

Gianluca Baini, president of the Mediterranean Customer Unit at Alcatel-Lucent said: “Because widespread installation of fibre is a lengthy process, service providers need additional technology options for delivering high-performance bandwidth in a shorter time-frame. Our High Leverage Network architecture supports a mix of advanced copper and fibre technologies such as VDSL2, which is boosting bit rates on existing infrastructures to help service providers enhance their network today and stay ahead of the broadband curve for many years to come. Go will be able to make its service offerings even more attractive and competitive, very quickly while making the best use of its existing investments.”

For the deployment, Alcatel-Lucent is providing Go with its industry-leading Intelligent Services Access Manager product family, which supports passive optical networking and digital subscriber line technologies on the same platform. Go is already delivering faster broadband services with VDSL2, an advanced copper access technology, and has completed successful lab testing of Gigabit PON fibre-based access.

With the ISAM product family, Go can support a mix of fibre-to-the-home, fibre-to-the-node and fibre-to-the-building deployment models, giving them enormous flexibility to choose the quickest, most cost-effective way to meet subscribers’ broadband needs.

Alcatel-Lucent is a worldwide leader in the deployment of GPON technology, having been involved already in more than 100 FTTH projects – over 85 of which are based on GPON.
