HP today announced that it has teamed with Cisco and MidtVest
Bredbaand (MVB), a Denmark-based broadband provider, to build a
high-speed, fiber-to-the-home network for the delivery of advanced
services such as video on demand and interactive TV to homes and
businesses.
Using the new network, MVB’s Content Denmark subsidiary will deliver
to more than 200,000 customers the so-called "triple play" of Internet
protocol (IP)-based services: Internet, digital TV and voice. Content
Denmark customers can, for example, use their TV sets to surf the web
and do email, access telephone voice mails, enjoy interactive TV and
download movies or other video on demand. |

Stretching the
definition of "triple play" into "multiple play," MVB plans to add
other services in the future, including high-definition TV
programming, storage on demand, and remote back-up and restoration of
data.
HP worked closely with Cisco, MVB, and Content Denmark, to build the
network, implement HP operations support systems (OSS) management
software, train the Content Denmark staff, and provide ongoing
mission-critical support services for network operation.
"With the Cisco fiber-to-the-home network, MVB has laid the foundation
for a truly exciting customer experience," said Lars Peter
Christiansen, operation manager, MidtVest Bredbaand, A/S. "The HP OSS
tools help us improve that customer experience by automating many of
the complexities of network and service management. At the same time,
they help us reduce the internal costs associated with operating
complex, converged services."
HP OSS software solutions provide staff with an integrated "console"
to view and manage all applications and services in the network. With
this highly efficient tool, the staff can see and resolve problems
before they degrade service to Content Denmark customers. Conversely,
Content Denmark builds trust with customers by allowing them to view
their own service profile through an online portal run by HP OSS
software.
"MVB has a clear vision to develop highly automated services that
deliver outstanding customer satisfaction, and it is producing
significant advances in high-speed networks, service delivery and
service management," said Norm Kincl, director of operations
solutions, Communications, Media and Entertainment, HP. "HP,
partnering with Cisco, is helping operators like MVB achieve these
positive business outcomes as they deploy fiber-based IP networks and
next-generation OSS."
HP OSS software products are used by more than 400 service providers
worldwide. They support key industry standards such as NGOSS, OSS
through Java (OSS-J), Multi-Technology Network Management and 3GPP.
The Ethernet-based point to point fiber-to-the-home network delivers
bandwidth of up to 100 megabits per second. The network uses the Cisco
7600 Series Routers and Cisco Catalyst® 4500 E-FTTH switch to provide
fiber access to the MPLS core network. The Ethernet fiber-to-the-home
design uses a per-service virtual local area network architecture to
provide the security and quality of service required to support voice
over IP (VoIP) and IP television (IPTV). The network data center runs
on the HP BladeSystem with HP StorageWorks EVA SAN arrays and Cisco
MDS9216i Multilayer Fabric Switches supporting fiber channel over IP.
"The transforming network continues to deliver more types of digital
voice and video application services to consumers from any device and
at anytime," said Paolo Campoli, director, SP Solutions Development,
Cisco. "The Cisco IP Next-Generation Network, in combination with HP
services and software, provides MidtVest a complete fiber-to-the-home
platform to keep the competitive edge in digital IP entertainment,
Internet and voice communications for their customers across Europe."
The HP OSS software products are part of the HP Integrated Service
Management framework, which integrates OSS and business support
systems (BSS), to provide carriers and operators with the
comprehensive, highly adaptive, service-oriented approach needed to
effectively manage networks and services, improve mediation and
billing, and assure quality of service for customers.
This announcement was made at TeleManagement World in Nice, France,
where HP is located in booth #158. More information about HP OSS
software and HP Integrated Service Management is available at
