Wyre selects CommScope's vCCAP Evo for Belgium's Broadband

Wyre has chosen CommScope's cloud-native vCCAP Evo solution for Remote PHY deployments as the basis for its next-generation broadband access network in Belgium.

Wyre, which was established as a joint venture between Telenet, a subsidiary of Liberty Global, and Fluvius, is responsible for providing wholesale access to the hybrid fibre-coaxial network in Flanders and parts of Brussels.

This selection follows Wyre's recent completion of laboratory trials and the commencement of field trials aimed at assessing the combined performance of CommScope's vCCAP Evo solution with Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) technologies. The purpose of these trials has been to demonstrate the system's potential to improve the quality of user experience for broadband services.

Wyre's decision to adopt CommScope's solution is intended to support the company's strategy to expand broadband capacity through a software-based, cloud-native network infrastructure. The solution designed by CommScope is expected to provide high-speed, low-latency data, video, and voice services by placing network resources closer to end users at the edge of the network.

"Partnering with CommScope and deploying their vCCAP Evo solution is a major step in building scalable networks for Flanders and Brussels' digital transformation. As we advance toward 10G networks, CommScope's cloud-native and DAA solutions will be key—delivering superior performance, lower latency, and greater energy efficiency to meet our customers' needs," Philippe Cauwel, Head of Technology & Strategy at Wyre, commented.

The partnership represents a significant element in Wyre's broader effort to futureproof its infrastructure as digital demand grows across the Belgian market. CommScope's vCCAP Evo platform aims to help operators migrate from existing architectures by combining a cloud-native core with DAA elements, which seek to extend capacity and enhance operational efficiency.

"The vCCAP Evo solution is the standard bearer of CommScope's technology leadership in broadband network innovation. Wyre recognizes the immense potential in migrating to vCCAP and DAA to drive more value from existing investments. By leveraging a cloud-native core that pushes capacity to the edge of the network, these solutions empower Wyre to fulfill customer demand for faster broadband. We're always grateful to have the opportunity to collaborate with them and we look forward to continuing to deliver the next-gen solutions they need to succeed," Emmanuel Vella, Senior Vice President at CommScope, said.

Wyre's wholesale access network serves Flanders and parts of Brussels, areas with increasing demand for high-speed and low-latency connectivity. The new deployment is designed to accommodate the anticipated growth in broadband traffic while ensuring energy efficiency across network operations.

The field trial phase is focused on confirming that the vCCAP Evo and DAA solution can meet the rigorous requirements of high-speed Internet, video, and voice delivery. Expected benefits for end users include improved network responsiveness, higher bandwidth, and enhanced service reliability.

As telecommunications operators move toward more software-based solutions, investments in cloud-native architectures like CommScope's vCCAP Evo are increasingly prioritised. CommScope anticipates growing uptake of such solutions as operators prepare for higher-bandwidth applications and services in future networks.
