Virtualizing the Cable Headend Towards a Software Defined Network

[AVAILABLE NOW]

The HFC network is evolving to meet the increasing demands of our digital lives, society, and economy. Virtualization of the Cable Headend and HFC network components is key to providing greater capacity, upstream, and flexibility. This approach allows service providers to adapt and evolve existing hardware, software and architectures into a software-defined network, to deliver ultimate versatility and resilience. To meet this, cable operators require flexible and elastic virtualization platforms that are scalable and are optimized for broadband and video service delivery. This free whitepaper discusses the cable access evolution trajectory, the distributed access architecture (DAA) and virtualization, the virtual CMTS Core - vCore, the virtual video engine - Video Unified Edge and the virtual cable access orchestrator - vManager.

8 Operator Case Studies on FTTH for Broadband Networks

[AVAILABLE NOW]

This compilation looks at 8 different case studies of FTTH deployments for broadband access networks. This includes expansion of fiber architecture in a rural area, deployment of broadband for a national utility and a high-speed rail line, fiber infrastructure capacity and speed upgrade by a major operator, rural to urban expansion of optical transport and FTTH; and migration from xDSL to FTTH by incumbent operators looking to merge legacy infrastructure and new fiber networks for ubiquitous nationwide broadband coverage.
