DOCSIS 3.1 field test

Viavi Solutions has announced that TDC Group, the largest telecommunications and entertainment provider in Denmark, has selected Viavi's OneExpert™ CATV signal analysis meter as the core of the field test platform to support a nationwide upgrade of its Hybrid-Fibre Coaxial (HFC) network. TDC Group has committed to deploying DOCSIS 3.1 to deliver advanced media and communication services. Befitting its history of innovation, it is upgrading its entire HFC network to support the new downstream extended frequency ranges defined in the DOCSIS 3.1 specification.

“Working with its ecosystem, TDCGroup has set an aggressive schedule for the network upgrade through 2016 and 2017. To maintain progress and minimise disruption to subscribers, it has established a 'maximum disconnect window' to upgrade the infrastructure and restore service. This plan requires a field- test solution not only compliant with DOCSIS 3.1, including the extended frequency ranges, but also fast, user-friendly and reliable enough to keep technicians on a tight schedule. Following a stringent process of investigation of solutions on the market, TDC Group selected our OneExpert CATV signal analysis meter,” Viavi told Broadband Journal.
