Liberty Global Using Vecima Automation Solutions to Drive Network Simplification and Efficiency
Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX:VCM) announced today that Liberty Global (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB, and LBTYK), one of the world’s leading converged video, broadband, and communications companies, is advancing its network innovation strategy by working with Vecima’s Entra® Access Test Platform. Positioned to play a pivotal role in Liberty Global’s approach to next-generation broadband, the platform delivers powerful, production-scale testing capabilities that align with Liberty Global’s evolving objectives and unlock further opportunities for technology adoption across its ecosystem.
Purpose-built to replicate production-scale environments and streamline testing workflows, the Entra Access Test Platform enables operators to perform comprehensive, high-fidelity testing of Converged Multi-Access Network technologies, including virtual Cable Modem Termination Systems (vCMTS). Proven in collaboration with other Tier 1 operators deploying third-party cores and validated with Vecima’s own Entra product portfolio, the platform delivers exceptional interoperability, reliability, and performance assurance across the broadband access landscape.
“Partnering with an industry leader like Vecima represents a strategic advancement in how we approach network validation and integration,” said Colin Buechner, Managing Director and Chief Network Officer at Liberty Global. “It not only strengthens our deployment capabilities but also plays a critical role in establishing a common, vendor-neutral testing framework that is rapidly becoming the industry standard. It’s a significant milestone for the cable sector—fostering greater interoperability, accelerating innovation, and delivering shared value across the entire ecosystem.”
“Vecima continues to lead the charge in advancing Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) solutions, supporting operators globally as they evolve their networks,” said Ken Kerwin, Group Vice President at Vecima. “Our work alongside Liberty Global highlights a shared vision for enabling operators to address complex, real-world network challenges with precision. Operators who want their transition to vCMTS to be as reliable as current CCAP deployments realize the need for implementing automated and scalable testing enabled by the Entra Access Test Platform.”
The growing momentum behind the Entra Access Test Platform was amplified by Vecima’s strategic acquisition of Falcon V Systems in October 2024. By leveraging Falcon V’s deep automation expertise and expanding R&D capabilities across Europe, Vecima continues to drive the development of scalable, vendor-agnostic solutions. This synergy not only enhances Vecima’s global broadband leadership but also accelerates the industry’s journey toward greater standardization and interoperability.

BAT Announces 70% of Policy Experts Continue to Misidentify Nicotine as Primary Cause of Smoking-related Disease5.10.2025 14:00:00 EEST | Press release
BAT announces that a new multi-market survey of policy experts across 15 different territories reveals that erroneous perceptions of nicotine health risks continue to persist, despite both the growing scientific consensus that nicotine is not a primary cause of smoking-related disease and the increased availability of smokeless alternatives to conventional cigarettes. The survey, commissioned by British American Tobacco (BAT) and released ahead of the start of this year’s GTNF in Brussels this week, reveals that seven in ten policy experts continue to incorrectly believe nicotine is the main cause of smoking-related disease. In addition, the research – which interviewed three cohorts (Nicotine Users2; Policy Experts; and Medical Professionals3) in 2024 and 2025 – also found that while half of medical professionals discussed smokeless alternatives to cigarettes weekly with their patients, only 21% feel well-informed enough to recommend them.
