Mediacom Communications select Core Networks

Core Networks, a global leader in operations support system (OSS) solutions for the cable television/broadband industry, have announced that Mediacom Communications have successfully deployed Core's OSS suite to manage, monitor, and help deploy their advanced broadband services.
The eighth largest cable operator in the United States, Mediacom now passes more than 2.6 million households.
"We chose Core Networks' product suite because it meets the rigorous demands of our growing network," commented JR Walden, VP of Mediacom Online. "Much of the Core team comes directly from the cable industry, and they clearly know our business. The products reflect that experience and understanding, and we are pleased with their performance. "
The three products within the suite to be utilised by Mediacom are CoreOS, CoreComposer, and CoreMeter. CoreOS provides overall network management and is a complete solution for managing the entire subscriber lifecycle including activation and support. CoreOS enables the activation of high volumes of new subscribers in a timely, cost-effective manner. It also allows cable operators to offer self-provisioning and on-line self-care, while giving customer support personnel easy-to-use tools for diagnosing and addressing larger issues. Complementing the overall management features of CoreOS, CoreComposer defines and edits configuration files for DOCSIS devices, while CoreMeter, Core's new network assurance solution, collects and displays historical data to allow trend management from a variety of administrative levels. CoreMeter enables Mediacom to more accurately predict subscriber/service behaviour, thereby improving capacity planning.
