Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC), the second
largest cable TV operator in the U.S. has started deploying Cable
Converged Access Platforms (CCAP) to support the growing demand for
its data services. The company is utilizing C100G Cable Modem
Termination System of Casa Systems Inc. and E6000 Converged Edge
Router of Arris Enterprises Inc. (ARRS) as
its CCAP infrastructure. Time Warner Cable currently has a Zacks
Rank #3 (Hold).
The CCAP technology will help carriers to maximize bandwidth,
simplify the operational structure and evolve according to
subscribers’ demand. In May 2013, Casa Systems was the first
company to commercially introduce an integrated CCAP device. In Oct
2012, Arris unveiled its innovative converged edged router called
E6000. The E6000 router acts as a powerful C4 cable modem
termination system (CMTS) of the company while it can be converted
into a CCAP.
E6000 will integrate edge QAM legacy video architecture and CMTS
DOCSIS IP network of Arris so that cable TV operators get a
convenient integrated-IP platform. This will eliminate the need for
a separate edge QAM device at the cable TV operators’ end.
Meanwhile, in Jun 2013, Arris declared that Comcast
Corp. (CMCSA), the largest cable MSO in the U.S., has
started commercially deploying its E6000 Converged Edged Router.
The CCAP market is highly competitive with incumbents like
Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO), Harmonic Inc. and
CommScope Inc. According to a report by Infonetics Research Inc,
Cisco held 50% of the CMTS market share, while Arris and Casa had
42% and 8%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2013.
