Alaska's Matanuska Telephone Deploys Net Insight for Triple Play

Matanuska Telephone Association (MTA), the largest telephone cooperative in Alaska, is using Net Insight’s Ethernet-based transport platform to support is triple play DSL network. Matanuska is offering subscribers 120 TV channels to compete with the local cable company. By the end of 2003, MTA plans to roll out the video service to approximately 33,000 access lines. The Net Insight system is a transport switch used for carrying video from the satellite-fed headend to IGMP-enabled DSLAMs. Net Insight uses DTM (Dynamic synchronous Transfer Mode) multiplexing technology to guarantee QoS and no jitter or packet loss for the video streams. Matanuska’s network uses Allied Telesyn’s DSLAMs and Minerva’s video headend equipment. Phase One of the network went live in June 2003. MTA is also planning to launch video on-demand services. Net Insight is based in Sweden.
