Bayan Telecommunications, Inc. (Bayantel), a provider of data and communications services in the Philippines, has boosted its wireline business with the deployment of Ericsson�s Ethernet DSL Access solution to Metro Manila and major provincial cities.

The deployment allows BayanTel to offer high-speed connections to its customers in these areas and offer an enhanced platform of broadband services to a wider market. 

�The unique scalability of Ericsson�s Ethernet DSL Access solution enables us to offer superior performance and high capacities to our customers in a cost efficient way, while investing in an infrastructure that is prepared for the needs of tomorrow,� said David M. Rogers, BayanTel senior consultant for network operations.

�At the same time, the roll-out of the Ethernet DSL Access solutions expands our reach and extends our capability to deliver high bandwidth, high speed Internet access to key commercial and business centers in Makati and Ortigas,� adds Rogers.

The design of the Ethernet DSL Access secures the possibility to offer triple play services � data, video and voice � to home and office environments in a cost-efficient and future-proof way.

�Ericsson is honoured to be given this opportunity to support BayanTel�s goals in providing high-performance and advanced services to its customers in the fast-growing DSL market,� said Stefano O. Celsini, President & Country Manager of Ericsson Philippines. 

�We are pleased that our solution has enabled BayanTel to upgrade their services quickly, easily and profitably.  As a long-term partner, we are fully committed to supporting BayanTel as they expand their services further to meet growing customer demand,� he added.
