More and more cable TV operators decide to deploy the DOCSIS 3.0 I-CMTS data transmission system. The advantages of this solution have been noticed and appreciated by another Polish company – Sileman from Ruda Śląska – which, in cooperation with VECTOR, has deployed the system in own projects.
The DOCSIS 3.0 I-CMTS data transmission system allows you to offer Internet access services with data rates higher than 100 Mb/s and to use the IP protocol for video transmission (IPTV services). The new DOCSIS 3.0 standard helps the operator to reduce operational expenditures: the power consumption is reduced while the density, scalability and efficiency of the solution are increased.
Sileman together with ELSAT and SFERA TV is a part of the Silesian Multimedia Group. Sileman is an Internet and telephony provider in four towns: Ruda Śląska, Bytom, Mikołów and Radzionków. The company offers the services based on the backbone fiber network which is 80 km long and on the dedicated microwave links. The subscribers may access the services via Ethernet or the ELSAT cable TV network.
A very important element of the DOCSIS 3.0 standard is a CMTS controlling the subscriber cable modem operation. Sileman has two CMTS devices installed by VECTOR. The devices are ARRIS C4 cable modem controllers for advanced IP services. ARRIS C4 allows the operator offering the advanced services of telephony, data and video transmission through the convergent IP network for individual and business customers.
The possibilities offered by the new system are recognized by more and more companies offering telephony, TV and Internet services. The new deployments of the solution entitle us to say that the DOCSIS 3.0 system is a success in the Polish market.
