NeckarCom Telekommunikation GmbH, a telecommunications subsidiary of the energy group EnBW, has chosen the euromicron subsidiary telent GmbH as its new strategic partner for broadband expansion. telent will support NeckarCom in developing regions that do yet have high-speed broadband access and will assume responsibility for planning, supplying and commissioning the passive and active network components, including technical services, as well as operation and troubleshooting in the networks. The VDSL2 technology comes from Alcatel-Lucent.



Broadband in rural regions The regional telecommunications provider NeckarCom is putting its trust in telent's many years of experience as part of its broadband expansion activities. The cooperation between EnBW's telecommunications subsidiary and telent was signed and sealed back in August 2012 and an initial project was launched. telent is installing more than 160 multifunctional cabinets comprising active technology in the rural districts of Sigmaringen and Ravensburg. In addition, NeckarCom is to connect more than 13,000 customers up to the fiber-optic broadband network. Since December 2012, the first customers have been able to achieve data transfer rates of up to 50 Mbit/s thanks to VDSL2 and FTTH techology. Corporate customers are provided with higher bit rates if required.

A one-stop shop telent's services comprise planning, supplying and commissioning the passive and active network components and complete after-sales support.


That includes round-the-clock operation and full troubleshooting in the networks, services which are provided by the telent Network Operations Center (NOC) in Backnang. telent is using the 73xx DSLAM (digital subscriber line access multiplexer) system family from Alcatel-Lucent as active technology in the project, which marks the beginning of strong cooperation with Alcatel-Lucent. Thanks to the technology used, NeckarCom will obtain a cutting-edge telecommunications platform for its broadband Internet and triple play services (telephony, Internet, IPTV) via VDSL2.
