Calix announces Cemerland Multimedia, Converge ICT adopting its fibre solutions

Calix today announced that cable operators Cemerland Multimedia (MegaVision) in Indonesia and Converge ICT (CICT) in the Philippines are leveraging Calix GPON solutions as they transform portions of their networks to fibre. Both operators are examples of a growing trend among cable operators globally who are making the leap to fibre to meet rising subscriber demand for ultra high-speed broadband services and an unmatched subscriber experience.

In the Philippines, Manila-based CICT has already seen an enhanced subscriber experience and more responsive subscriber care as a result of its network transformation to Calix-based GPON technology. Through the assistance of Calix channel partner Tel-trade Communication and Development, CICT is utilising the Calix 813G GigaHub and E7-2 Modular Access System to ready the network for the rollout of new services, including television and high-speed Internet with speeds up to 100 Mbps in several cities in northern Luzon, the largest and most populous island in the nation. 

CICT is also utilising Calix Open Link Cable software to emulate the OSS interfaces that are used by DOCSIS products to seamlessly integrate GPON into their existing back-office operations.

“Transforming our network to fibre enables us to stay ahead of competition and meet our subscribers’ ever-growing needs for higher broadband speeds and a trouble-free network,” said Dennis Anthony Uy, President and CEO at CICT. “Working with Tel-trade to deploy next generation solutions from Calix has allowed us to transform rapidly and truly differentiate our service offering from our competition.”

MegaVision, based in Bandung, Indonesia’s third largest city, has also transformed its network, moving away from legacy DOCSIS products to GPON using a combined Calix 801G GigaPoint and E7-2 solution. MegaVision is initially doubling broadband speeds in subscriber service packages as part of its network modernisation in conjunction with Calix channel partner Twoway Communications.
 
“In a short time, the Calix fibre solutions have already enabled MegaVision to greatly enhance our subscriber service offering,” said Vincent Lu, Chairman of MegaVision. “With fibre in place, we have the foundation in place to continue to introduce faster speeds and more advanced broadband services as our subscribers’ needs change. We have already seen new efficiencies in our internal operations through the fibre network, which results in an improved experience and more positive feedback from our subscribers.”

“Both MegaVision and Converge ICT highlight the need for cable operators to transform their networks to fibrerto meet the needs of their device-enabled subscribers,” said Andy Lockhart, Senior VP of international sales at Calix. “Each of these operators knew fibre was the path to get them to delivering an unmatched subscriber experience. We are seeing more and more cable operators make the move to fibre, both in Southeast Asia and around the globe."
