Philippines' SKY Cable transitioning to FTTH

The Philippines' largest cable operator SKY Cable has contracted Calix to help the operator transition from a HFC to a FTTH infrastructure.

SKY Cable plans to serve the greater metropolitan areas of Manila and Rizal as well as the regions of Cavite and Laguna with a software-defined fiber network powered by Calix solutions.

SKY Cable will deploy Calix's AXOS intelligent PON node solution, a virtualized DOCSIS connector and Wi-Fi enabled GigaHubs at subscribers' premises.

“Starting as the first operator to bring cable television to the Philippines in 1990 and with many additional service introductions since then, our mission at SKY Cable has always centered on utilizing cutting-edge technology to deliver the best services to our subscribers,” SKY Cable VP of network engineering Solito Mapolon said.

“As we partner with Calix to move to an FTTH infrastructure and lay the foundation for the virtualized networks of the future, that tradition continues. With Calix AXOS solutions at the heart of our network, we will be able to roll out new services faster than ever before and deliver our subscribers a quality of experience like no other.”
