CommScope introduced the launch of its next-generation Prolonged Spectrum DOCSIS® (ESD) STARLINE® amplifier and NC4000® optical node platforms supporting DOCSIS 4.0 operation, that may assist as much as 1.8 GHz within the downstream and as much as 684 MHz within the upstream.
Leveraging CommScope’s experience in HFC community design and intensive deployed base of STARLINE amplifiers and NC4000 nodes, these options supply operators a easy ESD improve to their present DOCSIS 3.1 community, in addition to a transparent path to DOCSIS 4.0 operation sooner or later, with minimal capital expenditures and repair interruption.
The STARLINE RF Amplifier and NC4000 optical node platforms incorporate modular designs with digital setup—together with attenuation, equalization, and node segmentation. Deployed amplifiers and nodes will be subject upgraded for ESD operation, offering a straightforward, cost-effective resolution for supporting DOCSIS 4.0 when wanted. Design options allow operators to keep up legacy companies whereas optimizing throughput positive factors alongside their path to 10G. As well as, CommScope has accessible Distant PHY and MACPHY Gadgets (RPDs and RMDs) that may be put in within the NC4000 node, together with one in growth that may assist DOCSIS 4.0 ESD operation.
CommScope’s DOCSIS 4.0 ESD STARLINE MB180 and BLE180 amplifiers and NC4000 optical node platform will likely be on show on the SCTE® Cable-Tec Expo® 2023, Sales space #773, from October 16-19 in Denver, CO. CommScope specialists will likely be available to offer extra details about these options and the trail to 10G broadband.
