Chopin taps Teleste for Distributed Access

Polish cable operator Chopin Telewizja Kablowa is tapping technology provider Teleste will deliver its Distributed Access (DA) technology.

Chopin, a cable TV operator providing telecommunications services in Pomeranian voivodeship, Poland, will use Teleste’s technology to upgrade its cable network infrastructure and provide faster broadband connections. The objective is supported by Teleste’s DAN3 Remote PHY node.

Distributed Access Architecture  technology allows operators to address the constantly growing Internet capacity demand. The technology is the next evolutionary step from traditional, centralised broadband networks towards distributed network infrastructures capable of delivering ultra-high Internet speeds.

Decentralizing the physical (PHY) layer functionality of DOCSIS CCAP core, the Distributed Access architecture extends the digital layer of the network and provides efficiencies in speed and network convergence, reliability, latency and security, according to Teleste. These advantages can be fully utilised by making sure that the distributed access nodes interoperate with the chosen CCAP core at the operator’s headend.

Teleste, which provides the DAN3 node, says that its Distributed Access technology has demonstrated its interoperability with all (v)CCAP core solutions from vendors like Cisco.

“During technology transitions, the reliability of partners is paramount. During our long term cooperation with Teleste, they have consistently delivered high-quality products and technologies that meet our requirements. Reinforced with their responsive local technical assistance team, we are confidently looking to a successful network upgrade that will help us fulfil our subscribers’ connectivity expectations also in future,” said Patryk Łaga, Board Member of Chopin Telewizja Kablowa.

Choosing the Distributed Access -based network architecture represents a robust solution for operators aiming to ensure uninterrupted access to premium broadband services for their subscribers. Expanding our previous collaboration, our team in Poland is excited to support Chopin on this transformative journey to adapt the new technology in their network and realise its benefits for their subscribers,“ said Olli Lepppänen, VP of Distributed Access products, Teleste.
