Service Electric Cablevision Taps OpenVaultService Electric Cablevision Taps OpenVault for PMA SolutionContinues momentum of technology that increases network capacity and resiliencyService Electric Cablevision and OpenVault announced that in the latest deployment of OpenVault’s Profile Management Application technology, Service Electric Cablevision will use the OV PMA solution to increase the capacity and resiliency of its broadband network. Service Electric Cablevision will leverage OpenVault’s PMA innovation to increase bandwidth availability and optimize performance to its subscribers in northeastern Pennsylvania. The commitment follows earlier OpenVault PMA announcements in Europe and multiple deployments at broadband operators in North America. “Exceeding our subscribers’ expectations when it comes to availability, speed and reliability is core to our mission,” said Jim Dorsa, Director of Engineering for Service Electric Cablevision. “Our partnership with OpenVault is helping us raise the bar of broadband excellence, ensuring the highest possible levels of satisfaction and quality of experience for consumers on our network.” “Demand continues to be strong and the pace has quickened for trials and adoption of our PMA product as operator networks evolve to DOCSIS 3.1 and higher,” said Mark Trudeau, CEO and founder of OpenVault. “Like our other announced and unannounced PMA customers, Service Electric sees the value of using our software innovation to maximize their existing plant investment.” OpenVault’s OV PMA optimizes modulation profiles used by DOCSIS 3.1 cable modems on OFDM(A) channels. It then routinely monitors and adjusts these profiles based on changing RF impairments, to ensure that subscribers receive the best possible service quality. This results in improvement of up to 40 percent in overall network capacity and bolsters the resilience of DOCSIS 3.1 modems, particularly in the presence of impairments.
