KRANJ, Slovenia -- Iskratel, d.o.o., Kranj, a leading solution and network-equipment provider, today announced that the Dutch cable operators Kabel Noord and KBG are deploying a FTTH access network with Iskratel’s next-generation FTTx access node, the SI3000 Lumia. The newly built FTTH network follows the intelligent-access networking principles – the SI3000 Lumia introduces traffic-flow awareness and thus radically simplifies both service and user management. The intelligent FTTH access network will enable enhanced security, traffic shaping and open access for the connected users, as demanded by EU regulations.

Both Kabel Noord and KBG offer services from two independent service providers that are equally accessible to the users. The SI3000 Lumia access nodes deliver services that are offered by all four independent service providers on the Kabel Noord and KBG FTTH networks. The users alone decide which service offer is the most competitive. The ability to ensure open service access was the deciding factor when choosing the SI3000 Lumia as the most appropriate access node.

The FTTH access networks are equipped with Iskratel’s SI3000 Service-Selection Platform (SI3000 SSP), a web-based application for the optimized management of users and services. The SI3000 SSP provides lower operational costs to the providers and improves the end user’s satisfaction with an autonomous service selection.
