Additional Business Information

Technology 

Our broadband internet, video and fixed-line telephony services are primarily transmitted over an HFC network. This network is composed primarily of national and regional fiber networks, which are connected to the home over the last few hundred meters by coaxial cable. Alongside our HFC network, we are increasingly rolling out services based on FTTH and leveraging fixed wireless access (FWA) technologies to service customers not covered by our fixed networks in areas where it may not be cost effective to deploy fixed networks.

We closely monitor our network capacity and customer usage. Where necessary, we increase our capacity incrementally, for instance by splitting nodes in our cable network. We also continue to explore improvements to our network and services as well as new technologies that will enhance our customer’s connected entertainment experience. These include:

•recapturing bandwidth and optimizing our networks by: 

◦increasing the number of nodes in our markets; 

◦increasing the bandwidth of our HFC cable network to 1.2 GHz;

◦converting analog channels to digital;

◦moving channels to IP delivery;

◦deploying additional DOCSIS 3.1 channels; 

◦replacing copper lines with modern optic fibers; and 

◦using digital compression technologies.

•freeing spectrum for high-speed internet, VoD and other services by encouraging customers to move from analog to digital services;

•increasing the efficiency of our networks by moving head-end functions (encoding, transcoding and multiplexing) to cloud storage systems;

•enhancing our network to accommodate business services;

•using wireless technologies to extend our services outside of the home
