The multi service access nodes for high performance into the future
The Ericsson broadband access node portfolio is built on the innovative experiences gained with the delivery of the widely deployed and award-winning IP DSLAMs of the EDA product family. It is fully compatible with the all-IP and softswitch architecture now being adopted by a majority of operators.
The convergence of voice, video and high-speed data will be via broadband. The EDA broadband access portfolio is enriched with features supporting capacity (non blocking system) and the Quality of Service needed to deliver the demanding high-speed multimedia services of the future IP-based networks such as gaming, HDTV IPTV, video-on-demand, time-shifting TV streams, as well as telephony over IP.
Each access node can comprise ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+, VDSL2, Fiber To The Home, Category 5 to the home, and pure POTS in different combinations with Gigabit Ethernet in the uplinks. The EDA portfolio also includes GPON switch capability (Gigabit Passive Optical Network).
Ericsson's broadband access node portfolio is the most scalable on the market, addressing existing networks as well as situations requiring a cost-effective path to network modernization and delivery of multiple services to residential and business users. The portfolio includes the Ericsson EDA 1200, EDA 1500 and EDA 2500 product lines as well as integrated Site Solutions.
Ericsson has expanded its portfolio with the recent acquisitions of Entrisphere and Redback Networks, which are reinforcing the company's vision for Full Service Broadband. The enhanced EDA 1500 system and the new Redback SmartEdge 1200 have been introduced to provide the capacity, scale and robustness required by mass-market IPTV and other IP-based services delivered over a fixed broadband infrastructure.
