Swisscom has revealed that it is testing fibre broadband technology which it refers to as fibre-to-the-street (FTTS) – analogous to fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) or fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) – in the Swiss municipality of Flerden, giving residents access to DSL speeds of up to 50Mbps initially, with 100Mbps expected to be achievable by next year. The rollout is intended to allow Swisscom TV viewers to simultaneously watch and/or record several high definition (HD) TV channels as well as transfer data over the internet at ultra-high speeds. As part of the pilot project, Swisscom says it is connecting nearly all households and commercial properties in Flerden to the FTTS network, with a commercial service expected to be ready for launch as early as the first quarter of 2013.
