The future of HFC networks
C-COR Broadband is finessing an Executive Brief is to communicate the competitive advantages of CableLabs DOCSIS 3.0 when implemented over HFC and/or the fast emerging standards-compliant RFoG solution architecture.
The next wave of technology development is being driven by the world’s leading cable operators to meet customers’ increasing demand for more bandwidth and video-centric applications like iPTV, interactive video, distance education and video telephony.
This demonstrates that cable broadband technology and network architecture continues to evolve and prosper against a competitive back drop where GPON and VDSL2 vendors are urging traditional carriers to invest in their broadband street cabinets.
Beyond Australia, cable broadband is a real competitive force for superfast internet and video rich media. In the Australian context the owners of the existing cable broadband networks of AUSTAR, Neighbourhood Cable, Optus and Telstra have a natural evolution path for their broadband infrastructure. They can invest and modernise with confidence, knowing that they can meet the market’s latent demand for rich multi-media experience, choice of connectivity and innovation in services.
In a separate development, C-COR Broadband made a submission to the Senate Select Committee on National Broadband Network (NBN), Parliament of Australia. This submission can be viewed at http://www.aph.gov.au/Senate/committee/broadband_ctte/submissions/sublist.htm
