Cable ISP Virgin Media<\/a> has just made their first UK deployment of a new-ish technology – Remote Phy (R-PHY) – on their Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) based DOCSIS<\/a> broadband and TV network in Coventry. The development will make their network more efficient, which should lead to better internet speeds and reliability.<\/p>\n

In an R-PHY deployment the operator essentially moves their PHY (physical layer) circuit out of the Converged Cable Access Platform<\/strong> (CCAP), which is itself a central component of the Cable Modem Termination System<\/strong> (CMTS), and puts that same circuit at the end of their network. The change removes an analogue laser run and decreases the distance to the customer’s equipment (as well as other improvements), which results in better performance vs a more centralised system.<\/p>\n

Generally, this change is likely to work best alongside the latest gigabit-speed capable DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 network standard (e.g. helps to maximise channel capacity without needing more spectrum), which Virgin Media<\/a> are currently busy rolling out across their platform of over 15 million premises (due to complete by the end of 2021).<\/p>\n

Statement from Liberty Global<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remote Phy technology is designed to improve the performance of our Access network \u2013 the network we use in the last mile between our technical facilities and customers\u2019 homes \u2013 which will ultimately provide our customers with a more reliable service and better experience. It also delivers more capacity efficiency which will allow us to continually deliver wide-scale Gigabit speeds quickly and more cost effectively.<\/p>\n

It is powered by CIN (Converged Interconnect Network) technology which digitises our Access network, and will replace our traditional analogue transmission in this space. This CIN will also support growing B2B services, mobile backhaul and 5G<\/a>, and is a key enabler in our Fixed Mobile Convergence journey.<\/p>\n

The technology is the foundation of our 10G network roadmap. 10G stands for 10 Gigabits per second \u2013 a fixed broadband platform that will deliver the next great leap in speed, capacity and latency for the networks that carry the vast majority of the world\u2019s internet traffic<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At present only a little over 200 live Virgin Media<\/a> customers in Coventry<\/strong> will benefit from the “increased reliability and capacity<\/em>” that R-PHY brings, but a seemingly larger deployment is expected to take place in Baguely<\/strong> (Manchester) by the end of 2020.<\/p>\n

After that the operator plans to roll this out to around 1,000 locations<\/strong> across the United Kingdom during 2021, as well as in all of Liberty Global’s other European markets. “This milestone is a result of a multi-year development and integration effort across our Central Liberty Global and Virgin Media teams, with support from our suppliers<\/em>,” said the operator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
