NEW DELHI: After multi system operator (MSO)
Hathway Cable and Datacom launched DOCSIS
3.0 technology in October 2013,it is now DEN
Networks that has selected Cisco’s DOCSIS 3.0
technology for its newly launched broadband
service in India.
DOCSIS 3.0 is a key component of the Cisco IP
NGN architecture, which promises speeds of
up to 300 Mbps per subscriber. With this, the
MSO will be able to provide ultra-high-speed
internet to deliver more content as compared
to the existing telecom Internet service
providers (ISPs).
DEN currently reaches out to 13 million homes
in over 200 cities. The MSO also offers digital
cable TV services in India, using Cisco’s
conditional access and middleware (set-top
box software) and presently reaches over six
million digital pay-TV homes.
To begin with, DEN soft-launched its ultra-
high-speed broadband service in one of its
biggest markets and its home base, Delhi, and
intends to expand the offering to other cities.
The adoption of DOCSIS 3.0 is a strategic
decision by the MSO to provide its subscribers
with a seamless online experience with no
buffering, lightning-fast downloads and higher-
quality video content compared with existing
telecom ISPs.
Despite a population of 1.27 billion, according
to TRAI’s latest Telecom Performance
Indicators Report (October–December 2013),
India has only 238.71 million Internet
subscribers, out of which 18.33 million
subscribers are wired Internet subscribers. The
remaining 220.38 million access the internet
though wireless connections like smartphones
and data cards. The country’s major MSOs are
preparing to capture this wireline broadband
market using DOCSIS technology, giving a
much-needed boost to broadband penetration
in India, with each MSO also aware of the
untapped 100 million cable TV homes in India.
Therefore, the deployment of DOCSIS 3.0
across its existing cable networks is a
significant step by DEN to capitalise on the
enormous business potential of the broadband
market.
DEN COO Mohammad Ghulam Azhar said: “We
are excited by the high-speed internet
opportunity in India. With this superior
technology, we are aiming to provide our
broadband subscribers with a fast and
consistent online experience.”
Cisco India and SAARC president, sales Dinesh
Malkani added: “Cisco's vision is to be the
leading enabler of ICT (Information and
Communications Technology) and broadband
acceleration in India through innovative,
scalable, high-value technology offerings and
solutions. We believe our engagement with DEN
has the potential to transform the cable and
broadband industry in India by offering high-
speed services to millions of subscribers and
connecting those who previously were unable
to access premium broadband services.” DEN selects Cisco DOCSIS 3.0 technology for broadband | Indian Television Dot Com
