Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) announced today that Austria’s Telenet Systems has selected its Entra® SC-1D Remote MACPHY Node to be deployed through Witke, Vecima Networks’ reseller in Austria. The SC-1D provides a simple, cost-effective, and power-saving solution to help Telenet Systems deliver a faster broadband experience for subscribers.

Designed with a compact form factor that is optimized for European deployments, the SC-1D delivers performance gains alongside substantial savings on capital and operating expenses. Through a hot-swappable, modular design, two or four RF ports are available, along with support for all downstream and upstream radio frequency split configurations. The SC-1D is designed to enable greater serviceability, scalability, and lower operating costs.

“We’re excited to equip Telenet Systems with Vecima Networks’ turnkey Remote MACPHY solution that enables Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) deployments,” said John Ruwe, Vice President of EMEA Sales at Vecima. “The solution includes nodes, the Entra Access Controller, and video services. Vecima is ready to bring this solution to customers all over Austria.”

The Entra Distributed Access Platform is Vecima Networks’ sustainable and economically friendly realization of the next generation of Cable Access products. As proprietary, optical transport networks become obsolete, Entra is optimized to facilitate the delivery of existing video and data services over Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) and open, ubiquitous, all-digital Ethernet connections.

The Vecima DAA portfolio, recently recognized by the Dell’Oro Group as the global market share leader in Remote MACPHY and Remote OLT solutions, is deployed by operators around the world. With broad support for all next-generation cable access technologies, high-value legacy services, and proven industry-leading interoperability, the networks of tomorrow are deployable today without compromise.
