Huawei strengthens partnership with BT

Huawei has announced it has further strengthened its strategic partnership with BT by providing a number of access products to support BT's Openreach division in the deployment of the company's new national fibre network. BT is planning to spend an extra £1 billion on its next-generation broadband network to bring super-fast broadband to two-thirds of UK households by 2015, subject to an acceptable environment for investment.

As one of BT's strategic partners, Huawei is dedicated to providing BT with professional solutions to fulfill the requirements of BT's Next-Generation Access network. Huawei's unique SingleFAN (fibre access network) solution is based on an open and unified platform, enabling Openreach to significantly reduce operation and maintenance costs. Huawei's SingleFAN solution also offers a future-proof platform for communications providers using the Openreach network to roll out multi-play services to residential and business customers.
