Cisco CCAP Deploying in France

Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) announced an agreement with Altice to deploy CCAP across its multi-country footprint, with the first rollouts being done in France. The deployment of the Cisco platform is intended to allow Altice to build the foundation for a long-term evolution of its cable access architecture with the DOCSIS 3.1 capabilities of the Cisco Evolved CCAP solution.

Altice plans to scale the bandwidth offered to its broadband customer base up to 10 Gbps, across the fiber-deep access network of Numericable-SFR in France, and other operators within the group. The deal is also intended to allow Altice to offer, in the future, a new range of faster Internet speeds over its cable network.
