SUWANEE, Ga., June 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS
(Nasdaq: ARRS) today announced that it will demonstrate two DOCSIS
"firsts" at NCTA 2011, in Chicago,
June 14-16, 2011.
The demonstration will show real file transfer throughput of 4.5
Gbps of DOCSIS downstream traffic being transmitted over 128 DOCSIS
downstream channels into a single Fiber Node. In the demo, an ARRIS
C4 CMTS will be configured using four newly-released 32 Downstream
Cable Access Modules (32D CAMs) to source the 128 DOCSIS downstream
channels into the Fiber Node. The Bandwidth Monitor will illustrate
that the total downstream bandwidth sent into the Fiber Node
remains fairly constant at about 4.5 Gbps. These record-breaking
bandwidth levels may be required for large-scale IP Video systems
in the future.
The demo will also show a proof-of-concept implementation of a
5-200 MHz high-split DOCSIS upstream system with 575 Mbps of DOCSIS
upstream bandwidth being transmitted over 24 DOCSIS Upstream
channels out of a single Fiber Node. This demo uses a single ARRIS
24U CAM to receive the high-split 5-200 MHz upstream spectrum from
a Fiber Node. This record-breaking upstream bandwidth is intended
to help the industry explore the future frequency allocations of
HFC to protect its value and viability for many years to come.
The demonstration is designed to illustrate three key
points:
- to show the incredible capacity of the current HFC network
- to illustrate the ability of the ARRIS C4 CMTS to capitalize on
the HFC network's immense capacity
- to display the latent flexibility of future DOCSIS CMTS systems
that can capitalize on the HFC network's upstream capacity as
well
