Huawei deploys FastConnect solutions for Telefonica

Huawei has announced a joint development agreement with Telefonica, a worldwide telecom leader, for the deployment of optical distribution network (ODN) solutions, including Huawei FastConnect solution. This agreement will allow Telefonica to tackle fiber to the home (FTTH) challenges and to improve fiber deployment process. This agreement shows the broad cooperation between Huawei and Telefonica, which ranks from active equipments to passive networks.

As a leading fixed network and mobile communications operator, Telefonica determined its FTTH development strategy in 2008 and has an ambitious deployment plan in the coming years.

You Yiyong, President of Huawei Access Network product line said, “The growth of ultra-broadband fixed networks is vigorous worldwide. As a clear example of our commitment to innovation and our focus on customer challenges, we have developed FastConnect solutions, which greatly improve FTTH deployment efficiency and strongly support customer strategy in the construction of ultra-broadband networks.”

With Huawei FastConnect solutions, Telefonica has adopted an alternative system for the outdoor hardened optical connectors of fast-connection technology. Drop cables are pre-connectorized and support plug-and-play, so no splicing is required onsite. Huawei FastConnect solutions are highly reliable, comply with IP68 and they adjust to high-humidity environments and temperature variations from +70℃ to -40℃.
