Cisco has launched Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) cBR-8 that aims to provide internet access at 10 Gbps. The platform is being deployed by Comcast and Altice.
The cBR-8 cost-effectively scales from 1 Gbps speeds to 10 Gbps by eliminating the need for multiple system rewiring. It offers broadband operators full DOCSIS 3.1 capabilities and 10 times the speed and capacity of any existing product.
The cBR-8 integrates the previously stand-alone functions required in a cable hub, delivering the industry’s first “hub-in-a-box” solution, helping to enable cable operators to achieve savings that could exceed 40 per cent of capital and operating expenses over five years, compared to other CCAP platforms.
A leapfrog innovation, the cBR-8 is a future-proof DOCSIS platform, designed to support the anticipated video and data services transformation over the next decade and beyond.
In addition to DOCSIS 3.1, the cBR-8 will deliver distributed CCAP, full spectrum video convergence, and software defined networking (SDN).
cBR-8 is the cornerstone of the Cisco multi-access strategy for cable, which includes PON, SP Wi-Fi, SDN manageability and cross-platform orchestration, with a clearly defined path to a virtualised, cloud-based solution.
Utilising Cisco’s carrier-class routing software, the cBR-8 significantly enhances service uptime and can transform the subscriber experience.
For the first time, MSOs have a platform that delivers unprecedented hardware and software resiliency
