ATLANTA –Sweden’s largest cable operator, com hem, with 1.4 million subscribers, has selected Scientific-Atlanta’s Prisma G10 Cable Modem Termination System to offer higher bandwidth to its customers in the country’s eight largest cities.
As demand in com hem’s service area grows for cable modems with broadband voice, video and data services, Scientific-Atlanta says com hem will use the Prisma G10 CMTS through software and hardware upgrades.
Because the Prisma G10 CMTS can allocate multiple channels per port, it supports up to 40 Mbps per upstream port compared to the typical 2.5 to 5 Mbps per port. This increase in bandwidth delivers more cable modems and more services per physical port when compared to legacy solutions, the company says.
“The focus of our data delivery strategy is to provide products and systems that enable cable operators to extract the most value from their networks,” Scientific-Atlanta Vice President and Managing Director Paul Coxon said in a statement. “The combination of better RF performance and scalability via dynamic channel assignment provides unique advantages that our system gives to our customers to help them overcome any capacity issues.”
Jens Persson, technical manager at com hem, said in a statement: “Our customers rely heavily on the Internet, and we need to provide them with fast, reliable cable modem service. The Prisma G10 CMTS helps us meet that need and opens the way for us to quickly expand services in the future.”
