Vecima and Net-Com to Deploy Entra® DAA Remote MACPHY with Hanstholm Net in Denmark

Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) today announced that Net-Com is deploying Vecima’s Entra® SC-1D Access Node and Entra® Access Controller (“EAC”) solutions for Hanstholm Net, an internet service provider in Denmark.

Vecima's Entra SC-1D Remote MACPHY node, a key component of the Entra Distributed Access Architecture (“DAA”) product portfolio, equips cable operators to transition their networks toward greater efficiency and scalability. By moving MAC and PHY layer functions to the access edge, the SC-1D reduces core network load, lowers latency, and increases bandwidth availability, supporting efficient delivery of high-throughput services.

With enhanced DOCSIS® 3.1 support for Remote MACPHY nodes, the Entra SC-1D Access Node delivers fiber-comparable performance over existing HFC networks. It offers a cost-effective, easily deployable, and future-ready path to 10 Gigabit Internet access while preserving existing infrastructure investments.

Complementing the SC-1D, Vecima’s EAC serves as a centralized management platform that orchestrates the complex interactions between the core network and distributed access devices. The EAC ensures seamless integration and optimal performance of the DAA ecosystem, facilitating advanced features such as dynamic bandwidth allocation and network virtualization.

“Our transition to Distributed Access Architecture with Vecima’s Remote MACPHY solutions represents a strategic leap forward in both performance and scalability,” said Lars Røge Hamer, Chairman at Hanstholm Net. “Achieving a reduction in headend power consumption by around 60 percent, while unlocking the scalability needed for multigigabit services allows us to operate more efficiently and deliver next-generation connectivity without compromise.”

“Hanstholm Net’s adoption of Vecima’s technology through Net-Com, marks a strategic advancement in its network infrastructure to support high-performance broadband delivery”, said Gert K. Hansen, CTO at Net-Com. “This partnership represents an important step forward as Vecima’s reliable products and solid support align well with our plans to expand DOCSIS® services and support other operators as we continue to grow in Denmark.”

Equipped for multigigabit downstream capacity and fully licensed to support additional bandwidth without incremental costs, the Entra SC-1D Access Node offers operators a future-ready platform with simplified deployment and minimal operational overhead.

“As part of Vecima’s Remote MACPHY suite, the Entra SC-1D Access Node and Entra Access Controller together deliver significant performance gains and centralized orchestration, bridging the core network with distributed access devices through simplified, scalable control,” said Ryan Nicometo, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Vecima Video & Broadband Solutions. “We are excited that our partnership with Net-Com is bringing Vecima’s industry-leading access solutions to more operators in Europe. This reinforces our global market leadership in Remote MACPHY technologies.”

The Vecima DAA portfolio, recognized by the Dell’Oro Group for the fourth consecutive year as the global market share leader in R-MACPHY and Remote Optical Line Terminal solutions (“R-OLT”), is deployed by operators around the world. Vecima will showcase its industry-leading cable and fiber access solutions, including the SC-1D, at ANGA COM 2025.
