Providing superior service quality to every subscriber
Westman Communications Group virtualized the broadband network and transitioned to DAA to simplify operations and generate savings.
Broadband service delivery made smarter
Westman Communications Group (WCG), a leading communications provider in Canada, has offerings in 42 communities. WCG planned to expand its broadband capacity to offer high-speed internet to retain members and attract new subscribers.
One of the main challenges they faced was overcoming the space, power and operational constraints of legacy hardware products. WCG wanted to modernize its network and simplify operations. The aim was to upgrade its top broadband downstream tier from 150 Mbps to 300 Mbps.
Improved network performance for WCG
The entire solution was launched in under two months and today, WCG benefits from a significantly improved outside plant performance, providing a better signal quality over the last mile of transport to the customer.
