Unitymedia rolt docsis 3.1 uit in 2017

Het Duitse kabelbedrijf Unitymedia meldt dat het de nieuwe kabelstandaard Docsis 3.1 volgend jaar gaan uitrollen. Met de nieuwe standaard, die de voorbije maanden werd getest, hoopt Unitymedia Duitse steden in 2017 snelheden van 1 Gbps te kunnen bieden.  

Volgens Unitymedia zal Docsis 3.1 zorgen voor aanzienlijk meer stabiliteit en is er bovendien minder kans op storingen. Voor de lange termijn voorspelt Unitymedia down- en uploadsnelheden van 10 Gbps. Onlangs maakte het bedrijf nog bekend zijn netwerk te upgraden om klanten een snelheid van 400 Mbps te kunnen bieden. 

Unitymedia, onderdeel van Liberty Global, behaalde in Q3 een omzet van 567,5 miljoen euro, bijna 5 procent meer dan een jaar geleden. De ebitda kwam uit op 366,1 miljoen euro (+7,2%) bij een nettoverlies van 31 miljoen euro.
