Monaco Telecom adopts Huawei D-CCAP solution and achieves a converged ultra-broadband network which will provide 100 Mbps to 1Gbps broadband access to users in Monaco.
On November 7, 2014, Huawei announced it will provide key support to deliver Monaco Telecom’s converged ultra-broadband project using the Huawei distributed converged cable access platform (D-CCAP) solution. With Huawei D-CCAP, Monaco Telecom will achieve a converged ultra-broadband network which will provide 100 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s access rates for broadband users in Monaco.
With one of the world's highest GDP per capita, residents and visitors to Monaco have both high expectations and demand for fast, reliable ultra-broadband. Until now, Monaco Telecom has built its network by utilizing abundant cable TV pipelines in older buildings and fiber to the home (FTTH) cables in new properties. This method reduced investment and shortened the deployment cycle which helped Monaco Telecom achieve rapid network deployment. However, with network architecture becoming increasingly complex and difficult to manage from a single platform, issues have arisen related to slowing network deployment. Monaco Telecom will use the Huawei D-CCAP solution to manage the two networks. The solution will converge both network cable types and will enable Monaco Telecom to achieve both fast network deployment and simple network management.
Huawei has made a long-term commitment to providing converged full service solutions to CATV broadband networks. It is the only company whose distributed-cable modem termination system (D-CMTS) and converged cable access platform (CCAP) products have passed rigorous tests by CableLabs. In May 2014, Huawei launched the industry's first D-CCAP solution which supports smooth network evolution. This solution has been widely adopted by companies such as Guangzhou Digital Media, Shenzhen Topway and WASU digital TV media group.
