Aurora Networks is Selected by Videotron for Further Upgrades to its Network Architecture

Aurora Networks’ Fiber Deep architecture, implemented with full spectrum technology, enables Videotron to provide virtually unlimited bandwidth to its subscribers

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aurora Networks, the number one optical access solution provider for cable operators, today announces the renewal of the agreement with Videotron for their next phase of network upgrades to Fiber Deep. Videotron will utilize Aurora Networks’ full spectrum Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology.

“Videotron’s successful Fiber Deep deployment previously, along with their decision to implement additional technologies, speaks volumes for the quality of our solutions and customer support”

Videotron initially implemented a Fiber Deep architecture using Aurora Networks’ broadcast/narrowcast overlay technology, in 2008, to upgrade its network to cost-effectively support the growing bandwidth demands of customers. To further evolve the network and to take advantage of the latest developments in multi-wavelength technology, Videotron will now deploy Aurora Networks’ high-performance full spectrum DWDM technology. Videotron will enjoy all the advantages of a Fiber Deep network including the operational benefits, but at a significantly reduced CAPEX.
