VICTORIA — Canadian tech vendor Vecima Networks today announced international converged video, broadband and communications company Liberty Global is using an integrated solution from Vecima and Vector Technologies to deliver 10 Gbps connectivity as it continues the rollout of Remote PHY (R-PHY) technology across its European footprint.
The jointly developed, next-generation R-PHY solution combines Vecima’s Entra ERM112 RPD (Remote PHY Device) module in Vector Technologies’ Acceron Compact R-PHY Node.
“The fully interoperable solution accelerates deployment of Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) in Liberty Global’s access network and enables Liberty Global to fulfil their 10G network roadmap, delivering the next great leap in speed, capacity, and low latency,” reads Vecima’s press release.
“The partnership with Vecima and Vector Technologies was a natural extension of our ongoing business activities, mainly focused on our mission to create the next-generation broadband networks in Europe,” said Seamus Gallagher, Liberty Global’s vice-president of access network strategy, in the release.
“Currently, we have over 19 million homes connected throughout Europe with speeds of 1 Gbps. DAA brings many benefits, such as increased network bandwidth and less equipment in the headend and hub by enabling a multi-service — video/data/voice/mobile backhaul — unified, fiber core network. We are excited to continue our gigabit rollout with a solution that helps avoid vendor lock-in and supports multi-vendor interoperability.”
According to the press release, Liberty Global plans to complete field trials in autumn 2021 in its Western and Central Europe operating companies, with support from Vecima and Vector Technologies.
