ZTE has completed the upgradation of the bearer network of German cable operator primacom offering improvements to the integrated service bearing capacity and data transmission rate.
The upgrade will support the German cable operator for the development of new service types and increased bandwidth requirements.
primacom uses the ZTE-based infrastructure to offer its customers analogue and digital TV services as well as VoD, Internet and voice services.
ZTE modernized the network with the introduction of ZTE DWDM and SDH products as well as switches and other customized solutions.
Primacom, one of the earliest suppliers of IPTV services in Germany, is using ZTE products to ensure consistent and reliable operations of its infrastructure, which enables the company to offer its services in several German states. The migration of the previous system to future operations that standardize on ZTE solutions started as early as in 2011 – the bearer network will become fully ZTE-based in 2014.
ZTE said the increase in new users is bringing enormous business opportunities to primacom. The services offered by primacom – TV, VoD, Internet and voice – are provided over long distances to several German states where they are distributed to primacom’s customers via suitable access technology.
