Midas C switch to switch LCO's into broadband players
Venkatachari Jagannathan 26 June 2006
Chennai: Indian telecom technology company Midas Communication Technologies
Private Limited has come out with a new switch that enables faster deployment
of cable internet. Called Catius, the new solution is targetted at the local
cable operators (LCO) segment.
Says head cable wireless division R Balajee, "Many LCOs have
actually wired up category 5 (CAT-5) cable networks and created broadband
access in big metros. Their solution is cost effective but not reliable. They
also cannot bundle video on demand services."
According to him the Catius solution has a gateway server, cable
modulator, video on demand server and 11 C-switches. The C-switches have been
designed for deployment on overhead CAT-5 cable. The downstream is sent on
coaxial cable. LCO's who have deployed CAT-5 cable in large numbers can make
use of this solution and create their own intra-net.
"The video on demand server can provide 15 simultaneous
sessions and can also stream two satellite channels. It comes with a variety of
features that enable LCO's to deploy the network and provide Internet, video,
satellite channels to accelerate their revenue."
The CAT 5 network is similar to coaxial cable network. However in
CAT 5 network, Ethernet switches are used instead of amplifiers, which is used
in the coaxial cable network.
"The advantage of Ethernet switch is that it is digital and
hence they have greater control over the network. With a proper switch and
deployment architecture net connectivity could be assured even if he back bone
cable gets cut," assures Balajee.
The other advantage of CAT 5 network is that it can carry power
and hence switches can be remotely powered and easy to repair in case of cable
cuts.
In order to answer the issue of bandwidth restrictions Balajee
says that the architecture of the C-switch is such that it could carry upto 300
Mbps in a limp shared by 36 subscribers translating into 8 Mbps per subscriber.
"With 5 Mbps one can provide good internet protocol TV services."
Further the C-Switch filters all the broadcasts and removes major
virus traffic from the network. According to Balajee, the solution can offer
the three services to the rural populace at low cost. A 16 port switch costs
around Rs6,000.
A national ISP is testing the solution in a Chennai locality.
About its applicability for the multi system operators (MSO)
offering internet over cable Balajee says, "It has undergone extensive
field trials with different MSO's and ISP's. It is awaiting large-scale
deployment and roll-outs are targeted by second half of this financial
year." The Midas Communication launched this technology last October. The
solution uses one-way Indian overhead coaxial cable for downstream and wireless
upstream.
Indian Vendors Go Global
JANUARY 03, 2006
As
According to a KPMG International
study,
The growth of the domestic market this year has given vendors a
springboard into the international telecom sector, and companies like Mahindra British
Telecom Limited (MBT), a provider of OSS, BSS, and remote network
management software, have seen more of their business take place outside India
-- it teamed with Azure Solutions
Inc. to provide a billing system for StarHub Pte.
Limited in
"Mahindra is a good example of an Indian company really
becoming a global player, which is what companies will need going
forward," says Raj Judge, a partner at law firm Wilson
Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and head of its Indian practice
group. Judge says he was astounded to see MBT buying a
MBT derives 70 percent of its revenues from BT Group plc
(NYSE: BT - message board;
London: BTA), which holds a 43 percent stake, but that's down from 85 percent
18 months ago and the company plans to make it 50 percent in the next two
years.
"The significant majority of the domestic companies that have
been formed have all realized that they need to be global players," says
Judge. "If they're not global competitors they won't survive." The
domestic market is mushrooming, but it's also highly price competitive and
demanding, he says. "If a company can actually succeed in that market they
have an amazing platform for the global market, and they are recognizing that's
what they need to do."
Judge notes that Indian companies tend to have a "different
psyche" to their Western counterparts. "They really do have this
sense of confidence that they feel like they can" compete on a global
level.
Bob Kondamoori, CEO of optical transport and access equipment
vendor Xalted
Networks says India's "very brutal" tendering process,
which focuses on getting "the most features at the lowest price,"
gives vendors an edge in other emerging markets: "It's fiercely
competitive because there's all the usual suspects -- Alcatel
(NYSE: ALA - message board;
Paris: CGEP:PA), Ericsson AB
(Nasdaq: ERICY -
message board),
Nortel
Networks Limited (NYSE/Toronto: NT - message board)
-- plus more. So if you can compete against them, meet all the eligibility
criteria and be cheaper than they are, it instantaneously gives you an edge to
compete internationally -- places like
Xalted Networks, which sells IP DSLAMs and SDH multiservice access
platforms as well as OSS software, generates around $35 million in annual
revenues, and has OEM partnerships with the likes of Alcatel, Siemens AG
(NYSE: SI - message board;
Frankfurt: SIE), and UTStarcom Inc.
(Nasdaq: UTSI - message board)
for contracts in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
Likewise India's other major equipment vendors, including Tejas Networks
India Limited , Midas
Communication Technologies Private Limited , and Telsima Corp.
, are branching out with partnerships abroad. "More or less every single
