Vecima Doubles Distributed Access Architecture Node Capacity, Prepares for 10G

New Orleans, Louisiana (ots/PRNewswire) - - Vecima Networks Inc.
(TSX:VCM) announced continued innovation in its EntraTM Distributed
Access Architecture (DAA) node portfolio today with the addition of
support for two Remote PHY Devices (RPDs) in a single node.

Vecima, with its highly flexible Entra Access Node for DAA, is
able to provide a low barrier to entry today with a single RPD node
that is easily segmentable as capacity demands increase. The Entra
EN8112 node is equipped with a single RPD supporting one downstream
service group and two upstream service groups. Alternatively,
operators can start with two RPDs equipped as the EN8124 node which
supports two downstream service groups and four upstream service
groups. Full spectrum OFDM/OFDMA is supported in hardware for each
downstream and upstream service group, with capacity limited by CCAP
Core support today. Upgrade kits from single RPD to dual RPD support
are available.

While capacity is an important reason operators are moving to DAA,
multi-vendor interoperability also remains a critical requirement for
the industry. Vecima's award winning Entra products, including the
Remote PHY Monitor (RPM), Video QAM Manager (VQM), Interactive Video
Controller (IVC), and Legacy QAM Adapter (LQA), are leading the
industry in a push towards being the most open and flexible products
in the marketplace.

"Bringing a truly full capacity, segmentable DAA node solution to
the market is a game changer," said Mr. Scott Raaf, Vice President of
Product Management at Vecima. "The cable industry has been relying on
segmentable nodes to alleviate capacity constraints for more than two
decades. Operators need a segmentable solution today because I can't
go replace a single legacy node, which was segmented several years
ago, with two DAA nodes. Full capacity segmentation is required for
the industry to truly operationalize DAA."

The Vecima Entra node family has extensive R-PHY operational
support including integration with the leading leakage detection and
upstream spectrum capture systems, NDR/NDF, and support from the
Vecima Entra Remote PHY Monitor intelligent monitoring and
configuration platform.

The Vecima Entra Access Node is shipping to customers today in a
single RPD configuration. Lab demonstrations of the dual RPD
configuration are available starting this month with full production
slated for the end of this calendar year. With a complete roadmap to
support Flexible MAC Architecture (FMA), Ethernet aggregation, and
Remote OLT (Optical Line Terminal), the Entra Access Node is the
cornerstone of Vecima's DAA strategy.

"Earlier this week we talked as a broad industry group here at
Expo about the path to 10G. We're going to need flexible, high
capacity products like the Entra EN8124 node to get there," said Mr.
Colin Howlett, Vice President of Architecture at Vecima.

Vecima will showcase the dual RPD Entra EN8124 at the 2019
SCTE·ISBE Cable-Tec Expo (Booth 1529) this week along with the rest
of their end-to-end solutions portfolio. To schedule an appointment,
