(Woodstock, ON) September 25, 2020 – Execulink Telecom, one of the leading telecommunications providers in Ontario, has upgraded its current coax infrastructure and invested in new and improved Hybrid Fibre technology across its own existing cable network. The company collaborated with Clearcable, Hitron Technologies Inc., and RocNet Supply to execute network upgrades, with the shared objective of delivering reliable, high-speed, enhanced broadband services to local communities.
“The strategic decision for collaboration was driven by the need to provide our customers with the awesome telecom experience they deserve,” says Ian Stevens, President and CEO of Execulink Telecom. “This suite of partnerships was built on a shared commitment to deliver significant value to our communities. The goal is to ensure our customers have a smooth transition to their new services with access to faster Internet speeds and a more modern TV experience.”
The project brings together four specialized service and support providers, integrating Execulink’s deep commitment to deliver seamless connectivity and significant value to their customers. Allen Licata, Network Solutions Specialist, and Matt Bernardi, Network Engineering for RocNet Supply, were responsible for the DOCSIS engineering and cutover assistance for the project.
“Execulink was an ideal candidate for the Distributed Access Architecture product from Casa, due to their existing optical and HFC network, and the demand for high speed data and video services to their customers,” shares Licata. “Working with their exceptional team, RocNet was able to help design and implement a costeffective solution to meet the needs of Execulink’s expanding next-gen network.”
On the partnership, Greg Fisher, President of Hitron Technologies Americas Inc. says, “We are excited Execulink selected Hitron for its next-gen Broadband and WiFi services with our high powered Wireless Gateways, WiFi extenders, and supporting software suite of tools for both operator and customer. With Execulink, we’ve found a partner that is focused on delivering the latest technologies that enable the premium experience for both consumer and business services.”
Execulink also leveraged expertise and software from Clearcable to improve the company’s operational facilities and DOCSIS network. “We are grateful to have played a part of Execulink’s Hybrid Fibre project that utilized Clearcable’s PNM software tool, Cartograph. Clearcable’s PNM tool Cartograph was built together with our partners so that they can proactively resolve issues that are important to them,” shares Insik Lee, Clearcable’s Director of Software Development. “Execulink’s goal of providing a reliable and enhanced telecom experience to their communities aligns with Clearcable’s goal of providing better broadband to all communities. We look
forward to continued projects and success with Execulink.”
Jon Burgess, Network Administrator at Execulink Telecom, says “Working with our partners at Hitron, Clearcable, and RocNet to migrate our HFC to a modern, 100% RPHY DOCSIS 3.1 solution, we were able to rely on our combined industry experience to overcome the complex situations that tend to come with such a large migration. This partnership allowed for consistent support, allowing us to build a modern network which will provide the speeds and experience our customers deserve for years to come.”
Hybrid Fibre Internet refers to its delivery method, which uses a combination of fibre optics and coaxial cable. The Internet connection is delivered over state-of-the-art fibre optic lines to the neighbourhood, with coaxial cable running directly to the home.
