Cablecom business secures major order in Geneva
Zurich (ots)
cablecom has secured an order in Geneva worth CHF 20 million that involves modernization of three cable networks. For 25,000 households in Onex, Lancy and Carouge, the project will provide access to cablecom's triple play service, featuring digital television, broadband Internet and digital telephony.
Under this multi-year contract, the three municipalities have commissioned cablecom to modernize their local cable networks. By bringing broadband connections and bi-directional data transfer to 25,000 households, the project will enable residents to access the full range of cablecom products. Triple play is a key feature that will distinguish cable network operators in their future competition for TV customers.
Freedom of choice on the last mile
This modernization will benefit cablecom, as well as the municipalities that own the networks and the end users. Upgrading the network will enable connected households to access all of cablecom's current and future services - especially digital telephone as an attractive alternative to the phone services of the former monopoly provider. Besides the existing, analog television service, digital television will also be available to customers in the future. The target for completion of this modernization project is June 2007.
