The Advanced RPD (ARPD) offers greater demodulator density in a more-compact chassis than its predecessor, the RPD-2000. It offers a larger number of upstream demodulators in a smaller physical package.

Performing the same functions as the RPD-2000 while saving rack space, the ARPD allows multiple upstream demodulators to be placed in each upstream path.

This modular, 1 RU product supports the inclusion of up to six removable (hot-swappable) ADM-4000 demodulator modules. It increases the bandwidth capacity of each upstream return path, allowing the system to support increased VOD penetration and the introduction of new interactive features, such as switched digital video.
