Abstract :
The important task of establishing networks in eastern Germany offers Deutsche Telekom a unique chance to apply the latest technologies. This helps to provide the eastern part of Germany with telecom services that are in line with customers´ demands. At the same time a genuinely future-oriented infrastructure can be implemented. The western part of Germany will also benefit from the introduction of new technical systems on a larger scale, because higher volumes should lead to more economical conditions for the procurement of these new technical systems. Topics discussed include SDH network components, fibre-in-the-loop systems and wireless local loop
