CommScope sells vCCAP Evo platform to Vidanet in Hungary

CLAREMONT, N.C. - CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM), a network connectivity solutions provider with a market capitalization of $1.2 billion and annual revenue of $4.2 billion, has announced the sale of its vCCAP Evo Virtual Converged Cable Access Platform to Vidanet, a Hungarian telecommunications company. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has shown remarkable strength with a 324% return over the past year, suggesting strong market confidence in its strategic initiatives. The deal, which includes CommScope’s E6000r High Density and E6000r Remote PHY (R-PHY) shelves, is aimed at supporting Vidanet’s shift to a Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) in its network infrastructure.

The implementation of CommScope’s vCCAP Evo will serve as the central management component for Vidanet’s DAA deployment. This technology transition is expected to allow Vidanet to relocate DOCSIS signal generation to the cloud, leveraging the E6000 series R-PHY shelves. CommScope’s strong liquidity position, with a current ratio of 2.83, indicates its robust capability to fulfill such major contracts and support ongoing operations. For deeper insights into CommScope’s financial health and growth potential, investors can access comprehensive analysis through InvestingPro’s detailed research reports. The vCCAP Evo platform’s capabilities include centralized, automated provisioning, configuration, and monitoring, which are anticipated to facilitate the introduction of new services within Vidanet’s cable access network more rapidly and efficiently than traditional hardware-based systems.

Vidanet’s Chief Technology Officer, Attila Friedrich, highlighted the benefits of virtualizing the company’s CMTS core with the vCCAP Evo solution, emphasizing operational efficiency, minimized service disruptions during deployment, and environmental benefits due to reduced power consumption.

The deployment plan involves setting up the vCCAP Evo solution and R-PHY shelves in a centralized hub in select cities and their suburbs. CommScope’s channel partner, HFC Technics, will collaborate with Vidanet for the installation and integration of the new system.

Guy Sucharczuk, SVP & president of Access Network Solutions at CommScope, commented on the deployment, noting that the vCCAP Evo solution is a scalable way for operators like Vidanet to transition CMTS operations to the cloud and adopt DAA technology. Sucharczuk also mentioned that this move is expected to enable Vidanet to expand their network in line with their business growth while reducing costs and effort.

The vCCAP Evo platform and E6000 series R-PHY shelves are part of CommScope’s extensive range of cable access network products, which include HFC, DAA, and PON technologies.
