Telecom Lead Asia: Chinese telecom equipment maker ZTE
has completed Free-seating network at Swedish broadband service provider
Wexnet.
Broadband consumers will benefit as Free-seating networks
enable them to connect to a single broadband network but to sign up for
services of any number of ISPs or Internet content providers (ICPs).
The Free-seating network concept also assists in
significantly reducing network complexity and duplication, while offering more
choices.
“Wexnet had always wanted to provide customers with the
broadest possible range of services and solutions. When ZTE suggested the
Free-seating solution we were not sure it could be turned into reality. But we
are very happy with the network built by ZTE because it gives us a more
reliable operation while providing our customers with the complete range of
services that they require,” said Wexnet Technical Director Lars Wihlborg.
Wexnet provides power supply, super-high-speed broadband
service and IPTV services to the city of Vaxjo which was built in the 11st
century.
ZTE’s Free-seating solution has assisted Wexnet to become a
platform connecting service providers and terminal users.
ZTE said the platform enables many ISPs and IPTV media
providers to adjust their market strategies and develop preview service
promotions. It can adjust service routing based on traffic demand, and payment
is implemented without complexity. Users can easily find new services via their
web browser on the Wexnet interface platform.
Wexnet is currently providing services to over 30,000
families based on the Free-seating solution. At the same time, 70 ISPs and ICPs
are linked direct to customers on the Wexnet platform to provide services.
“In the operation mode, Free-seating like a new ISP
store”, will change operators’ role from pipeline operators to service shop.
Free-seating finally realizes the new operation mode of three-wins” — with
benefits for the operator, ICP and terminal users,” said Huang Zheng, CEO of
ZTE Sweden.
