ANDOVER, Mass. -- Casa Systems, a worldwide leader in next- generation cable edge technology, announced today that Finland’s largest cable service provider, DNA Ltd, has placed an order for Casa’s C10G chassis to deliver high-density functionality to its cable network. By selecting the Casa solution, DNA will be able to offer highly scalable broadband services to over 600,000 home subscribers while ensuring a seamless migration to CCAP in the near future.

DNA Ltd is a Finnish telecommunications company providing high-quality, state-of-the-art voice, data, and TV services to private customers and corporations. In 2012, DNA recorded a turnover of EUR 769 million and an operating profit of EUR 56 million. DNA Ltd has more than 3 million mobile communications and fixed network customers. DNA selected Casa’s C10G chassis following extensive lab testing and field trials to identify an appropriate high-density platform.

“Casa Systems is a proven leader in the growing movement towards CCAP. This expertise, combined with the feature-rich and eminently scalable capabilities of the C10G, made them an ideal partner,” said Kari Ruopsa, Head of DNA’s Television Networks. “We were especially impressed by the C10G’s performance in the field and within our own labs, as it demonstrated the functionality that is critical in today’s rapidly changing customer markets.”

Additionally, DNA chose Casa System’s C10G chassis due to its ability to seamlessly transition to CCAP, ensuring the cable provider’s investment will be preserved even as its technology requirements change. The C10G enables MSOs to deploy DOCSIS, IPTV and MPEG video on a single chassis over a single port. When combined with Casa’s DS8x96 module, the platform delivers superior integrated CCAP (I-CCAP) density with lower consumption, significantly reducing operating costs.
