In many ways, the rural market in the US is leapfrogging urban areas when it comes to new video services. A prime example is QCOL which is implementing a FTTx network to bring next-generation TV to its 2,000 customers.
The upgrade at the western Pennsylvania-based Internet services and triple-play provider is being done with Zhone Technologies' MXK Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) access platform.
QCOL operates across Fayette County, Pa., Garrett County, Md. and Preston County, W.V., and will roll out the FTTx network beginning in August 2011. The configuration will include up to 1GB capacity in the home and the ability to support the extreme bandwidth demands generated by multiple HDTV screens, high definition digital video recorder (HD-DVR) content and video streaming within the home.
The system scalability and flexibility of the MXK help future-proof the network for more advanced service rollout while also reducing recurring operating expenses (OPEX) and any adverse customer impact from rollout of these next-generation services, the companies said.
