Industry topics

Distributed Access architecture

Distributed access architecture has advanced the evolution of cable networks. It is a rational step for the network development strategies leading to 10 Gbps broadband speeds over existing coaxial cables.

DOCSIS 4.0 and 1.8 GHz

With DOCSIS 4.0 and 1.8 GHz technologies, operators can build multi-gigabit networks – both upstream and downstream – without capex-intensive fibre-to-the-home investments. They are elemental for realising the cable industry’s vision of a 10G future.

Intelligent Networks

Intelligent Network technology consists of remotely manageable and automatically adjusting broadband nodes and amplifiers, as well as their management software. They have been designed to help operators improve quality of service while keeping operational costs in control.

Video delivery

The ongoing technology tranformation brings along new requirements for video delivery. The challenge for operatorsis how and when to upgrade their video headend infrastructure, and what to consider regarding consumer expectations and video delivery technologies.
