In February 2009 VECTOR together with the telecom operator PETRUS for the first time deployed the fast data transmission system based on DOCSIS 3.0 I-CMTS.
The deployment included the creation of the migration plan as well as the system and network configuration for DOCSIS 3.0. In the next phase the old system was replaced by the new one.
The PETRUS company is active in a few towns in the central and northern Poland (Chojnice, Toruń, Człuchów, Miastko, Bytów, Czersk and Tuchola) where it offers services for several dozen thousand of subscribers. PETRUS belongs to the very exclusive club of companies which offer the Quadruple Play service (“four in one” – analog TV + digital TV + Internet + telephone).
“Among many advantages of introducing the DOCSIS 3.0 system in our company the most important one is the reduction of the transmission cost per one subscriber and the flexible configuration of downstream and upstream purchase. The introduced DOCSIS 3.0 standard allows us offering very fast data transmission services – up to 200 Mb/s for one subscriber”, said Mr. Marcin Granowski, the PETRUS Project Coordinator.
The key element of the DOCSIS 3.0 standard is CMTS, which controls subscriber cable modems. PETRUS has ARRIS C4 controllers installed by VECTOR. ARRIS C4 allows the operator offering advanced services of telephony, data and video transmission via convergent IP network for business and individual customers. VECTOR will deploy the DOCSIS 3.0 for other telecom operators in the near future.
