CommScope to Enhance Vidanet's Network with vCCAP Evo

CommScope, a global network connectivity provider, has announced the sale of its vCCAP Evo Virtual Converged Cable Access Platform to Vidanet, a top provider of cable, internet, and voice services in Hungary. The deal also includes CommScope's E6000-r High Density and E6000r Remote PHY (R-PHY) shelves. These solutions will support Vidanet's transition to a Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) network. The vCCAP Evo solution will serve as the central management component of Vidanet's DAA deployment. By shifting DOCSIS® signal generation from traditional CCAP or CMTS hardware to the E6000 R-PHY shelves, Vidanet can improve network efficiency and scalability. CommScope's advanced vCCAP Evo features, such as centralized, automated provisioning, configuration, and monitoring, will streamline network services. This approach allows for faster service deployment compared to traditional hardware-based CMTS platforms. Vidanet will also use CommScope's Intelligent Access Controller (IAC) to enhance the vCCAP Evo platform. The IAC provides essential features, including zero-touch activation, fault management, and disaster recovery. These capabilities ensure seamless network evolution and optimize overall performance. 'Virtualizing our CMTS core with vCCAP Evo brings many benefits,' said Attila Friedrich, CTO of Vidanet. 'It enables us to deploy E6000 series shelves with minimal disruptions. Plus, it's more energy-efficient and cost-effective than traditional hardware-based solutions.' Vidanet will roll out the vCCAP Evo solution to a centralized hub and deploy R-PHY shelves in key cities and suburbs. CommScope's channel partner, HFC Technics, will support the installation and integration process. 'Virtualizing the headend helps operators optimize their CMTS architecture for DAA,' said Guy Sucharczuk, SVP & President, Access Network Solutions at CommScope. 'For Vidanet, vCCAP Evo offers a scalable solution to move CMTS operations to the cloud, extending the network edge. We're excited to help Vidanet enhance service delivery and expand their network cost-effectively.' CommScope's vCCAP Evo and E6000 R-PHY shelves are part of the company's end-to-end HFC, DAA, and PON cable access network solutions.
