Next-generation outside plant platforms
streamline path to 10G HFC networks with modular field upgrades for
existing DOCSIS infrastructure
CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM) announced today the launch of its
next-generation Extended Spectrum DOCSIS® (ESD) STARLINE® amplifier
and NC4000® optical node platforms supporting DOCSIS 4.0 operation,
that can support up to 1.8 GHz in the downstream and up to 684 MHz
in the upstream. Leveraging CommScope’s expertise in HFC network
design and extensive deployed base of STARLINE amplifiers and
NC4000 nodes, these solutions offer operators a simple ESD upgrade
to their current DOCSIS 3.1 network, as well as a clear path to
DOCSIS 4.0 operation in the future, with minimal capital
expenditures and service interruption.
The STARLINE RF Amplifier and NC4000 optical node platforms
incorporate modular designs with electronic setup—including
attenuation, equalization, and node segmentation. Deployed
amplifiers and nodes can be field upgraded for ESD operation,
providing an easy, cost-effective solution for supporting DOCSIS
4.0 when needed. Design features enable operators to maintain
legacy services while optimizing throughput gains along their path
to 10G. In addition, CommScope has available Remote PHY and MACPHY
Devices (RPDs and RMDs) that can be installed in the NC4000 node,
including one in development that can support DOCSIS 4.0 ESD
operation.
“CommScope’s HFC network expertise, DOCSIS innovation, and
extensive deployed base uniquely positions us to support our
customers in their next stage of network evolution,” stated Guy
Sucharczuk, SVP & President Access Network Solutions,
CommScope. “We designed our ESD platforms to drop into existing
network infrastructure and realize significant cost savings in both
hardware and labor, without the large upfront investment of
rebuilding current plants. Our priority is our customers’ ability
to choose the best migration path and strategy for their unique
network. These innovations, as well as our recent milestone of over
one million amplifiers shipped in just one year, are a testament to
our leadership in supporting our customers’ ongoing network
evolution.”
CommScope’s DOCSIS 4.0 ESD STARLINE MB180 and BLE180 amplifiers
and NC4000 optical node platform will be on display at the SCTE®
Cable-Tec Expo® 2023, Booth #773, from October 16-19 in Denver, CO.
CommScope experts will be on hand to provide more information about
these solutions and the path to 10G broadband. For more information
