CommScope High Density R-PHY Shelf to support
DAA and virtualization across global broadband network
CommScope announced today that Liberty Global has selected its
High-Density R-PHY Shelf as a key component of its next-generation
global gigabit broadband network. The HD Shelf will enable Liberty
Global to push fiber deeper into its HFC network and realize the
efficiencies associated with Distributed Access Architectures
(DAA).
The HD Shelf will enable Liberty Global to add more capacity in
the network and transport digital Video, Data and Voice services
over fiber to remote locations.
“Liberty Global is a worldwide leader in next-generation gigabit
broadband, and this deployment of CommScope’s HD Shelf cements our
position at the forefront of HFC network transformation,” said
Colin Buechner, managing director and chief network officer,
Liberty Global. “We’re working closely with CommScope to
efficiently and reliably evolve our network so that we can continue
to deliver the cutting-edge speeds and experiences that our
subscribers demand.”
“Our planned deployment represents a new milestone in our
long-standing partnership with Liberty Global,” said Ric Johnsen,
senior vice president and segment leader, Broadband Networks,
CommScope. “We’re showcasing our leadership in DAA and our global
scale, as we work side by side with Liberty Global, a world leader
in converged broadband services, to transform its broadband network
in service of millions of subscribers all around the world.”
The HD R-PHY Shelf hosts eight E6000n HD Remote PHY Devices
(RPDs) in a single rack unit (RU), and works in conjunction with
the CCAP Core to extend the PHY layer further into the network. The
platform provides full-spectrum support for digital broadcast TV,
VoD, and DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 3.1, as well as strategic alignment
with future NFV/SDN/FTTx systems.
