Coaxial networks have long served as the backbone of connectivity in holiday parks. These networks were originally installed for the distribution of television, but can now easily be adapted for high-speed internet. Thanks to a thorough renovation, the network meets the demands of today and tomorrow.
For recreational entrepreneurs looking to modernize their parks without major infrastructure changes, a renovated coaxial network offers an efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable solution.
Why renovate a coaxial network?
Coaxial cables are robust and suitable for providing high-speed internet connections. However, the active (amplifiers) and passive (splitters) components in older networks often no longer meet the performance required by modern technologies such as DOCSIS 3.1.
With a renovation, we can replace these outdated components with modern versions, making the network suitable for current technologies. Additionally, power injection filters and connectors are replaced. This eliminates the need for new infrastructure, saving both time, money, and minimizing disruption. The renovated coaxial network will also provide reliable performance for decades to come.
The benefits of coax renovation
1. A solid foundation for modern technologies
After renovation, the coaxial network can be equipped with the latest DOCSIS technology. This enables speeds comparable to fiber optics, without the need to lay new cables. As a result, guests enjoy a high-quality internet experience.
2. Lower costs and less disruption
Upgrading an existing coaxial network is much more cost-efficient than laying new infrastructure such as fiber optics. Moreover, excavation work remains minimal, reducing the impact on the park and surrounding area.
3. Flexible internet options for guests
By installing modems (connected to the coaxial cable) in each accommodation, guests have access to fast internet that meets their needs. They can connect via Wi-Fi or a wired connection, which is perfect for devices such as smart TVs and game consoles. Additionally, the coaxial network can supply Wi-Fi Access Points throughout the park.
4. Sustainability and efficiency
Reusing existing infrastructure is not only cost-effective but also sustainable. By extending the lifespan of coaxial cables, you reduce waste and make the most of the resilience of the original infrastructure.
How does a coaxial network renovation work?
A renovation starts with an analysis of the current state of the network. This includes assessing the quality of the cables and the performance of amplifiers and splitters. The following steps are then taken:
- Replacing active and passive components: Old amplifiers, splitters, power injection filters, and sometimes connectors are replaced with modern versions capable of handling higher data speeds.
- Installing DOCSIS technology: The latest DOCSIS standards are installed to make data transmission over coaxial more efficient and faster.
- Modems in accommodations: A modem is installed in each accommodation, providing guests with direct access to a stable and fast internet connection.
After this renovation, the network is ready to deliver high performance and offers flexibility for future expansions.
What does this mean for your holiday park?
With a renovated coaxial network, you can easily meet the growing demand for fast, reliable connectivity. This translates directly into satisfied guests, better reviews, and a stronger competitive position. Additionally, you will save significantly on costs by utilizing existing infrastructure while improving performance and being prepared for future innovations.
