Superonline will implement a solution from Tilgin and Ericsson to provide households with high-speed Internet connections and IMS based IP-telephony. With this initial order, Tilgin will provide Home Gateways and software for approximately SEK 17 million. It covers the first phase of Superonline's plan to add some 300,000 homes passed to their FTTx network during 2010. Deliveries will begin during Q1 2010. The local implementation will be managed by Ericsson and Tilgin together with Superonline's staff. “When launching this massive effort, Superonline was looking for the solution with the highest performance, yet at a very competitive price. We are very proud that they chose Ericsson and Tilgin as their preferred suppliers, after a very thorough evaluation process including all players in the market, says Ola Berglund, CEO at Tilgin. This win is the result of a close cooperation between Tilgin and Ericsson Turkey”. Through this new solution, Superonline will be able to use the most modern network technology, including Tilgin Home Gateways HG1300 and Tilgin's gateway management software HGA 570, and offer their customers 100 Mbit/s Internet access, IMS based IP telephony and a rich Internet TV service, all over one common network. Superonline is implementing a so called Fiber-to-the-Building solution with a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connection to each home, equivalent to the capacity of most office networks. “When evaluating the different vendors' gateways, we searched for a solution that combined high performance, ease-of-use and flexibility with a low total cost of ownership. Tilgin delivers all of this with its combination of reliability, high performance and state-of-the-art software,” says Murat Erkan, CEO at Superonline. The high capacity, together with intelligent remote management functionality and support for quality of service, will enable the most demanding services including multiple high definition TV streams (HDTV). “This is yet another proof point that operators view our solution as being the most advanced in the market today.
