Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) today announced that Telenet Group (TNET.BR), one of the largest providers of cable broadband services in Europe, is rolling out Vecima’s Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) solution, featuring next-generation Remote PHY devices.

The fully interoperable solution accelerates deployment of DAA in Telenet’s access network, enabling it to fulfill its 10G network roadmap by moving RF closer to the edge and delivering the next great leap in speed, capacity, and low latency.

The Entra® EN2112 R-PHY Access Node is a high-density, compact, two-port node that’s interoperable with third-party converged cable access platform (CCAP) cores and vCMTS (virtual cable modem termination systems), creating an open, flexible DAA ecosystem. Supporting architectures that push fiber deeper into the network, the EN2112 allows operators to optimize existing hybrid fiber coax (HFC) network capacity and deliver increased bandwidth to subscribers.

The Entra Remote PHY Monitor provides unparalleled insight into the Remote PHY network and provides highly scalable, automated RF configuration of Entra Remote PHY Nodes.

“Vecima has empowered us to embark on the crucial initial strides toward DAA, offering a steadfast and expandable solution for both the Remote PHY node and monitoring,” said Jeroen Bert, Product Owner, Fixed Access Engineering for Telenet. “Today's deployment is designed to be future proof, aligning with the progression toward fully virtualized Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) and cutting-edge DOCSIS® technologies of the next generation.”

‟Vecima continues to deliver industry leading DAA to customers around the world, and we are excited to work with Telenet to transform consumer experiences in homes and businesses throughout Belgium,” said Ryan Nicometo, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Vecima Video & Broadband Solutions. “We look forward to highlighting our innovative cable and fiber access solutions delivering ground-breaking speed and capacity at ANGA COM 2023 in Cologne.”

The Vecima DAA portfolio, recently recognized by the Dell’Oro Group as the global market share leader in Remote OLT and Remote MACPHY and 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.
