Kabel Deutschland, Germany’s largest cable operator, has deployed NetNumber's TITAN as part of its network consolidation efforts aimed at improving network efficiency. The implementation sees TITAN being used as a common, virtualized infrastructure for all signaling control, routing policy enforcement and subscriber database services in the network. A Vodafone Company, Kabel Deutschland offers its customers high definition (HD), digital (SD) and analog TV, Pay TV and DVR offerings, Video on Demand, broadband Internet (up to 200 Mbit/s), WiFi services and fixed-line Phone services via cable.
According to NetNumber, the solution uniquely delivers centralized provisioning and management combined with a powerful distributed, in-memory database replication method that enables all signal processing to happen at the optimal location in an operator’s network. The company added that TITAN also provides least-cost routing function, fraud management and emergency call handling in Kabel Deutschland’s network.
Kabel Deutschland highly appreciates TITAN’s great flexibility as it allows precisely tailoring its service logic to our particular needs. It supports us gaining network efficiencies and responding to market requirements in a rapid manner.

Operators’ philosophy of deploying network services into the core network is going through a major evolution from the traditional, single-server approach towards the centralized, one-common platform option. We are excited to see the Kabel Deutschland team move towards this deployment architecture as they consolidate and converge their existing network. TITAN provides Kabel Deutschland the opportunity to place a multi-protocol signaling control platform into the core network while dramatically accelerating the introduction of new services and minimizing impact to OSS/BSS systems.
