Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) announced today its “Turbocharged” DOCSIS 3.1 support for Entra® Remote MACPHY nodes with System Release 24.2.0.

Vecima’s Entra SC-1D2 and SC-2D Remote MACPHY Nodes enable Broadband Service Providers (BSPs) to access the compelling advantages of Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) and provide a cost-effective, easy to deploy, and future-proof path to 10 Gig Internet access. Turbo DOCSIS 3.1 support significantly increases the available high-speed data bandwidth that can be offered within an existing 1.2 GHz HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coax) plant.

As DOCSIS 4.0 modems become available, they can be deployed in existing HFC plants, and Turbo DOCSIS 3.1 in Vecima’s Remote MACPHY nodes takes advantage of the extra available OFDM channels to increase overall bonding group capacity in both the downstream and upstream, supporting service tiers above 8 Gbps in the downstream. This allows BSPs to more effectively compete with Fiber-to-the-Home internet providers without costly upgrades to their outside plant networks.

“Vecima’s Remote MACPHY Nodes equip BSPs to gracefully and cost-effectively transition their networks,” said Ryan Nicometo, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Vecima’s Video & Broadband Solutions business. “Remote MACPHY simplifies network design and enhances operational efficiency by moving physical (PHY) layer functions closer to the network edge, thereby reducing latency and increasing bandwidth availability. Now, with Turbo DOCSIS 3.1, cable operators can effectively compete with the downstream speeds offered by fiber competitors.”

In March 2023, Dell’Oro Group named Vecima the global market share leader in Remote MACPHY Distributed Access Architectures (DAA) segments for the third consecutive year, with dozens of operators around the world continuing to expand their MACPHY deployments. Vecima’s Entra Access Nodes simplify upgrades from hybrid fiber coax (HFC) and DAA, thanks to their interoperability and state-of-the-art design for all network applications today and in the future.
