How a newly established division helps operators and MSO’s to a better business model with a highly affordable distributed network architecture.
Most operators and MSO’s see a 40% increase on network capacity every year. As fixed broadband speeds will double by 2023, the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) must support high bandwidth, large capacity, and support latency sensitive traffic. However, the traditional centralized architectures cannot meet the requirements of such high volumes of data in terms of power consumption and core switch chip reliability. But there is a much better way. New type of networks are here to ensure that latency remain within acceptable limits at all times.
A distributed approach to guarantee high bandwidth and low latency
The good news is: there’s no need to replace the existing coax-network. Hirschmann Digital Access (HDA) delivers a distributed architecture which is more suitable to face the challenges in capacity and latency. There’s an easy way to extend the lifecycle of the existing physical network and
increase network capacity on a granular level. With a distributed access architecture, you have the flexibility to leverage the coax network and deploy fiber deep architectures at the same time.
‘‘Existing Business Models really need to be overhauled. The use of new DCA platforms provide this option.’’
With our Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) approach (also called DCA, Distributed Ccap Architecture), we help MSO’s, operators and Telco’s to plan and build networks to be agile and competitive over the next ten years in the multi-service market. To do so, we implement our DN1218 Distributed Converged Cable Access Platform to meet the requirements of triple-play services over HFC networks. The DN1218 is a full-service, intelligent Digital Node for cable networks designed for fiber deep migration.
The DN1218 is part of our Distributed Access approach and provides an open structure that makes it easy to customize or upgrade the network to meet evolving requirements. The only part that needs to be replaced is the fiber node.
‘‘The open structure of a Distributed Ccap Architecture avoid costly CAPEX destruction since every application can be reused in the event of a change for the capacity growth strategy.’’
The pressure on the MSO for a mission change is being increased by the lack of affordable and future-proof Network transitions and strategies. A Distributed Ccap Architecture postpones this change and extends the current MSO mission and strategy and thus the lifetime of Coax without losing its competitive position. We ensure that operators around the world are able to move from DOCSIS 3.0 to DOCSIS 3.1 and further. It will allow MSO’s to continue to provide and provision the services they used to, whilst extending the life of their existing HFC plants.
We also see MSO’s investigating the possibilities to a more software defined approach or an intent-based network environment. These technologies enable granular control of your network, but you will need a granular infrastructure where the real intelligence is distributed. HDA uses it’s knowledge and expertise together with operators and MSO’s to develop such a sustainable model for the future.
