World’s first multivendor DOCSIS 4.0 demo
achieves 8.9 Gbps downstream 6.2 Gbps upstream with 1.8 GHz
Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD)
Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) today announced a demonstration
of 8.9 Gbps downstream and 6.2 Gbps upstream in a multi-vendor,
real-world network environment at the recent “CableLabs® 10G
Showcase: Experience the Transformation” event in Denver, Colorado.
Vecima’s Entra EN8400 Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) node
was used for the demonstration, which was attended by the
industry’s leading technology executives and decision makers.
The demonstration was built using a next-generation DOCSIS 4.0
System-on-a-Chip (SoC) for Remote MACPHY Devices (RMDs) along with
1.8 GHz amplifiers and taps from industry partners. For the demo,
which was supported by a Tier One North American service provider,
a realistic four amplifier cascade was built representing
approximately one mile of cable plant. Vecima’s DOCSIS 4.0
technology will be available in the Entra EN8400 DAA node, the
Entra EN9000 GAP (Generic Access Platform) node, as well as other
non-Vecima node platforms that support DOCSIS 4.0 technology. Both
the EN8400 and EN9000 nodes were highlighted at the CableLabs
event.
“CableLabs and its members and vendors continue to show that
DOCSIS 4.0 technology can deliver massive capacity with incremental
upgrades to existing HFC plant,” said Curtis Knittle, Vice
President of Wired Technologies at CableLabs. “It’s a natural and
cost-effective network upgrade.”
“We’re seeing performance with DOCSIS 4.0 technology greater
than what is possible with 10G PON, and it’s paving the way for
cable operators to offer a true 10G service using high-split DOCSIS
4.0 FDD,” said Colin Howlett, Chief Technology Officer at Vecima.
“By building on the existing FDD approach and extending downstream
and upstream to higher frequencies, the capacity of the network can
be increased through the existing amplifier cascade without
changing amplifier spacings.”
“Although each operator will evolve at a different pace, DOCSIS
4.0 technology is here, and it’s proven to deliver 10G speeds over
existing HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coax) networks,” noted Ryan Nicometo,
Senior Vice President and General Manager of Vecima’s Video &
Broadband Solutions segment. “Operators can best take advantage of
this opportunity to evolve their networks by working with vendors
now to get ahead of their technology planning cycles. The good news
is we believe the transition to DOCSIS 4.0 technology is straight
forward, cost effective, and brings unparalleled capacity.”
The Vecima Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) product
portfolio, recently recognized by the Dell’Oro Group as the North
America market share leader in Remote MACPHY and 10G-EPON Remote
OLT solutions, is deployed by operators around the world. With full
