Ericsson offers broadband service portfolio for SMEs

Banking on the success of ENGINE concept, Ericsson is extending a comprehensive range of broadband portfolio for small and medium enterprises, offering services like Voice over DSL and IP Virtual Private Networks.

With Voice over DSL, operators will be able to simultaneously offer high quality voice and fast Internet access on an existing copper line without significant investments and with a very short time to market.

“Growth and development in the DSL access market is driven by the need for speed, and multi-service broadband access is quickly becoming crucial to small and medium-sized companies,” said Ove Anebygd, vice president, Ericsson Multi-Service Networks. “Our SME solution enables operators to provide these businesses with higher speeds with symmetric bandwidths as well as multiple telephone and data channels on a single copper line,” he added.
