Ericsson and CYTA, an operator in Cyprus, have signed a contract for a Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) network based on Ericsson’s GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) solution.

The contract includes delivery of central office optical equipment and devices for the homes, EDA1200 and EDA1500, and passive infrastructure such as fiber systems and cables. Apart from the GPON network (point-to-multipoint configuration), the pilot project includes also a point-to-point network, using Ericsson’s equipment (switches and CPEs)
