Ericsson's ENGINE concept revolutionizes
broadband access with Instant ADSL


Ericsson's new  ENGINE Access Ramp solution Instant ADSL  is  based  on  unique
technology allowing  the subscribers to install Asymmetric  Digital  Subscriber
Line (ADSL) in their homes within seconds, without assistance from an operator.


As a technology  for providing broadband access over existing copper cables,
ADSL has now begun to be deployed as a mass-market broadband access solution.
The Instant ADSL concept allows operators to deploy, activate and manage
broadband access networks with DSL, technologies fast, efficiently and safe.

"The self-installation  kit  includes everything that a subscriber needs to
install and configure his modem and computer all by himself without assistance
from the operator's personnel," said Ove Anebygd, Vice President at Division
Multi-Service Networks, Ericsson. "It is just to put in the CD in your computer
and wait a moment for the ADSL to be installed."

Instant ADSL offers the operators a complete automated and fault proof
activation of the ADSL service. By using Instant ADSL the operator can respond
instantly to a service request from a subscriber, resulting in a substantially
improved time to revenue.

"Instant ADSL offers an efficient deployment solution which will drastically
reduce the need for installation resources required for the mass-deployment of
ADSL," continued Ove Anebygd.

The automated process,  supported  by the timesaving and resource efficient
solution, will together with the self-installed home kit substantially improve
the operators business case. With the Instant ADSL solution the operator can,
finally, set off the mass-deployment of ADSL.
