As demand for bandwidth-intensive content surges, broadband networks continue to build on capacity to enable the delivery of improved speeds, throughput and low-latency. Applications of the future including data-intensive gaming, virtual reality, OTT HD video and teleconferencing require reliable and high-capacity Ethernet connectivity. Cable operators providing broadband access to consumers hence find themselves with the challenge of realizing next generation connectivity to homes and businesses. More specifically, hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) via DOCSIS 3.1 and now DOCSIS 4.0 will have to work towards the 10G promise leveraging enhanced solutions that offer existing cable Operators options to scale up their bandwidth and deliver improved quality of experience for their broadband users. This infographic presents an easy to understand path to migration for HFC networks, with focus on various deployment models including ICAAP, distributed, virtualized and PON. The models present opportunities for cable operators to draw the most out of their HFC infrastructure by leveraging advanced fiber densification solutions available today, which allow them to deliver a higher capacity, lower latency, enhanced security and reduced operational costs.
