Cable PON for HFC Networks

AXS2200 and AXS1800 Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) are designed to deliver a full range of high-speed, fiber-fed voice, data and video services to residential and small business customers using the power of Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (PON). With 200-GB switch capacity and support for up to 4,600 subscribers per chassis, the Motorola PON portfolio is at the top of the market in performance and scalability.

Leveraging the ubiquitous nature of HFC networks and node technology, Motorola has developed a hybrid HFC-PON solution that clears the way for cable operators to target FTTP deployments within existing HFC-deployed service areas. By combining proven Motorola HFC node and optical GPON access technologies into a seamless integrated solution, cable operators can support FTTP service delivery from the existing optical HFC node. Whether supporting a single commercial services subscriber or a new residential community serving tens of thousands of subscribers, Motorola’s hybrid Cable PON solutions drive new, low-cost, high-value service delivery architectures into the existing HFC network at a pace that is customized to each cable operator’s business.

Motorola also offers a full suite of Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) designed for the home, business, and Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU) settings that bridge the gap between the PON and the customer premises. For example, the ONT1000GT can be deployed at customer locations to support the delivery of hundreds of Mbps of QoS-managed throughput and provide a direct interface to in-home coaxial networks, supporting simple and straightforward installations of next-generation service delivery.

To capitalize on Cable PON opportunities, cable operators need the ability to successfully address PON challenges. Today’s PON solutions are unable to utilize the full spectrum of existing DOCSIS^® infrastructure deployed in residential homes, headends and hubs, as well as existing OSS infrastructure for provisioning, billing and troubleshooting.

Cable PON is a powerful solution that allows MSOs to use PON technology to cost-effectively increase capacity, more effectively compete with incumbent providers and deliver Ultra-Broadband services that reduce churn and more closely bind subscribers to the network.

 

Cable PON solutions from Motorola also allow cable operators to:

• Cost-effectively deploy high-bandwidth solutions that co-exist with HFC solutions and support the rapid deployment of competitively differentiated services to subscribers.
• Continue to leverage existing HFC infrastructure while deploying FTTP to new homes and businesses served by Greenfield buildouts.
• Leverage existing HFC OSS/BSS applications and infrastructure.
• Reduce operational costs by minimizing the equipment necessary on the access network for delivering Ultra-Broadband services.
• Create new revenue streams from Ultra-Broadband service bundles to commercial customers that can exceed 50 Mbps.
