TELESTE AND HUAWEI AGREE TO CO-OPERATE ON DANISH GIGASPEED PROJECT
Teleste has reached an agreement with the global telecommunication company Huawei to deliver the next generation of intelligent amplifiers for use in TDC Group’s cable network upgrade in Denmark to the new DOCSIS 3.1 technology. The upgrade of the cable network will begin in June 2016, and is targeted to be completed by the end of 2017.
The cable network upgrade project is significant in European scale and will, when finished, be the first complete network transformation performed to DOCSIS 3.1 standard. With this network upgrade to DOCSIS 3.1 frequencies TDC will be able to deliver speeds of 1 Gbit/s on coaxial cable to 50 % of the Danish households.
As broadband traffic grows almost 50 % each year, MSOs need to upgrade their coaxial networks to the gigabit level in order to offer IP-based and customized video services. By investing in DOCSIS 3.1 upgrade, cable operators can re-vitalize their existing cable network assets to compete successfully with Fibre-To-The-Home operators.
This project generates significant volumes for Teleste DOCSIS 3.1 compliant amplifiers. The parties have agreed not to disclose the value of the deal.
