PETERBOROUGH, ON – Capella Telecommunications has signed a reseller agent agreement with customer premises equipment (CPE) provider SMC Networks to distribute its Veloxite family of DOCSIS 3.0 cable modems, eMTAs and wireless gateways to Tier 2 and Tier 3 operators in Canada.
Based in Irvine, CA, SMC launched the Veloxite family in 2013 to provide cable operators with a complete portfolio of downstream/upstream channel configurations including 8×4, 16×4 and 24×8 for their residential, small office/home office and small-medium business markets. Overall, eight CPEs have received CableLabs certification in the last year, with more 24×8 and 32×8 products in the process of being developed.
“We tried SMC’s products in our own cable operations, and the overall performance, especially that of Wi-Fi reach and range, convinced us to distribute these devices to other Canadian operators” said Capella president Norm Slater, in the news release.
“Capella allows SMC to expand ever further its distribution reach into Canada, which is a key market for us”, added SMC EVP and COO Joe Wytanis.
