R Enhances Broadband Services in Spain with ARRIS RFoG technology [New Vision (Uganda)]


(New Vision (Uganda) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) R, the Galician optic fiber communications operator, has selected Radio Frequency over Glass technology from ARRIS Group, Inc. ARRS, +2.60% to improve bandwidth provisioning, drive efficiency across its network and ensure legacy infrastructure can be expanded with Fiber to the Premises RFoG extensions.



The technology will be implemented from November 2014 by bcSistemas (a Select Value Added Reseller for ARRIS), who were selected as the systems integrator following a successful trial earlier this year. R has selected a range of ARRIS solutions including Optical Network Units, Optical Transmitters, Optical Receivers for RFoG, Optical Amplifiers, Multiplexers and Passives to build their offering.

ARRIS's RFoG technology will enable us to deliver fiber to more of our network. This means our commercial and residential customers will see a dramatic improvement in service and overall experience, said Julio Sanchez Agrelo, Director of the Network Division at R. We are excited about this technology and its potential to reduce our operating costs and maximize our HFC infrastructure investment over the coming years, even as technology advances.


Pablo Guaglianone, General Manager of ARRIS Spain said: With our technology, R can now offer a deep, highly efficient fiber network that brings the latest TV services and fastest Internet speeds into the homes of their customers. As service providers look to deliver next-generation content experiences, they need to deploy superior infrastructure that competes with established players. Our suite of fiber technologies has the power and scale to meet these demands.

bcSistemas played an integral role in helping R envisage and deploy a fiber-deep network. Jose Antonio Illarregui, bcSistemas Managing Director, said: This project demonstrates the benefits of RFoG technology for fiber to the home - allowing the reuse of all the legacy equipment and services in both the headend and in subscribers' homes, greatly expanding the capacity of the networks and reducing negative factors such as maintenance costs.

Continued investment in new network solutions ARRIS continues to develop innovative solutions based on its state-of-the-art optical technology, already installed in cable operator networks around the world. ARRIS empowers service providers like R Cable y Telecomunicaciones to equip their headends and optical nodes with features that facilitate expansion with new services and capabilities.
