Optical Beat Interference mitigation provides
MSOs ability to scale fiber broadband without boxing them in with
the need for centralized cabinet expense
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation open networking solutions, today announced its
Radio Frequency over Glass (RFoG) solution with Optical Beat
Interference (OBI) mitigation technology. This RFoG solution
accelerates an MSO’s FTTH initiatives by supporting the reuse of
existing CATV assets within both the headend and home. This greatly
extends the return on investment cycle while smoothing the
transition from hybrid fiber coax and CATV-based triple play to
Gigabit FTTH and IPTV-ready deployment models. As RFoG deployments
increase in density, the likelihood of OBI occurring greatly
increases. OBI is caused by simultaneous upstream optical
transmissions by multiple cable modems leading to impaired
reception at all upstream frequencies impacting key applications
like voice, live video and social media.
“The need to support reliable voice and ultra-fast broadband is
key to securing lucrative triple play revenues for MSOs in a
changing competitive landscape,” said Erik Keith, principal
analyst, GlobalData. “As MSOs look to build out their fiber
infrastructure to support rich video content, ADTRAN RFoG OBI
solutions allow them to deliver the requisite customer experience
while accelerating FTTH service by reliably reusing their existing
RF infrastructure.”
ADTRAN offers an extensive set of rapidly deployable RFoG
solutions that feature an OBI mitigation MicroNode that uniquely
does not require new centralized cabinet construction, which can
often be delayed by right of way and power sourcing issues. This
scalable ADTRAN RFoG OBI solution provides a distributed approach
to OBI mitigation that smooths the transition to FTTH networks and
IPTV-based triple play services.
“By deploying our MicroNodes, ADTRAN cable MSO customers are
afforded a more simplified approach to OBI mitigation and FTTH
expansion, one that is compatible with both 1G and 10G EPON and
transparent to the existing CATV assets like in-home set top
boxes,” said Hossam Salib, vice president of cable and wireless
strategy at ADTRAN. “MSOs are not only looking for these critical
RFoG advantages, but demand an OBI mitigation that avoids
constructing centralized cabinets that delay time-to-market and
require a large amount of up front capital. The ADTRAN RFoG
solution is the next evolution as we continue to expand our
presence within the cable MSO access network.”
