Fujitsu Telecommunications Europe has contributed to two significant milestones involving the roll-out of Multi Service Access Nodes (MSANs) across BT's new 21st Century Network (21CN). The first was the completion of the MSAN installation at all 64 exchanges in
South Wales, which comprises the initial phase of BT's 21CN deployment. This involved the supply and installation of some 164 MSANs, comprising 104 copper and 60 fibre in total. In parallel, Fujitsu has also completed the installation of the 34 exchanges required to enable a major trial of next generation broadband services, also involving a combination of copper and fibre MSANs. These next generation broadband services will be rolled out to some 60,000 customers in the West Midlands later this year, before extending the new service nationally early in 2008. With the installation and commissioning of these latest 100 sites, Fujitsu now has almost 300 MSANs deployed in the 21CN.
