GGA Maur Takes a Quantum Leap to Increase Transmission Capacity with Teleste and Helltec
GGA Maur is a Swiss operator that provides TV, Internet and telephony services to over 24,000 households that are located close to Zürich. In 2012, the company started strategic planning of its "Next Generation HFC-Network". The target of the project is to increase transmission capacity per customer tremendously by implementing deep fibre architecture.
The network evolution strategy implemented by GGA Maur will enhance the operator's ability to achieve a large-scale roll-out of the latest service called TVmotion. This service uses the DOCSIS 3.0 platform to deliver nonlinear video as Video-on-Demand and TV-on-Demand. The latter includes features like recall TV for tens of channels, which allows customers to watch broadcast content within a time period of up to seven days.
Optical transmission equipment, as well as an element monitoring system, is exclusively provided by Teleste. Therefore the AC8700 node station equipped with GaN technology is a tailor-made component for this project. 1 GHz forward bandwidth and 200 MHz in the return path as well as supreme transmission qualities are a key factor for future DOCSIS 3.1 implementation. With the help of Helltec Engineering AG which has the lead in this project, and Teleste as hardware and logistics supplier, the project implementation started in 2013 and will continue in several phases during the next few years.
