Elisa deploys Vecima’s Distributed Access
Architecture to deliver next-generation internet experience to its
customers across Finland
Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) announced today that leading
Finnish telecommunications operator Elisa has deployed Vecima’s
EntraTM Remote MACPHY solution to evolve its network with a
next-generation Distributed Access Architecture (DAA). The solution
enables Elisa to deploy gigabit broadband and new service
experiences to residential subscribers – detached homes and
multi-dwelling units – and businesses. In addition, moving to DAA
delivers sustainability through digitalization, enabling
substantial energy savings.
In Finland’s highly competitive broadband market, Elisa brings
highly innovative solutions to its subscribers. Vecima’s Entra DAA
solution boasts flexible access node configurations, a cloud-based
access controller, multiple video delivery options, and highly
scalable capacity. As Elisa looks to maintain its market-leading
position, Entra is well matched to forward-looking, strategic
architectural plans.
“We are committed to offering our customers the best possible
internet experience,” said Antti Salonen, Head of Technology for
Fixed Networks at Elisa. “By deploying the Entra solution, we can
move our cable access network to the next generation with higher
capacity, new service offerings and automated network operations.
Vecima’s unique DAA solution provides a flexible and efficient way
to leverage our existing IP network to expand to new areas without
the increased costs of additional headend equipment.”
To take advantage of untapped, latent capacity in Hybrid Fiber
Coax (HFC) networks, the cable access network must be rearchitected
and simplified to eliminate analog/RF transmission, replace, or
digitize legacy video, and optimize operational costs. Once
deployed, a Distribution Access Architecture increases network
capacity and performance, lowers total cost of ownership, and
reduces power consumption.
The Vecima SC-1D Entra Access Node offers a Remote MACPHY Device
in a compact, European form factor. Elisa will deploy the SC-1D
managed by the Vecima Entra Access Controller (EAC), which provides
centralized control and leverages software-defined networking
principles to pave the way for a platform capable of delivering
faster connections to end users.
‟As cable operators contend with changes in the competitive
landscape, and ever-growing demands for greater capacity and
performance, we see growing momentum in the move to DAA,” said Ryan
Nicometo, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Vecima’s
Video & Broadband Solutions business. “Elisa is building one of
the most innovative DAA deployments in the world, and we’re proud
to help enable their strategic vision.”
