Deep Fiber
Motorola - a trusted solutions provider for cable operators globally - presents an end-to-end portfolio of Fiber Deep solutions for the next step in HFC network and service evolution.
Seamless Migration to Fiber Deep Networks
Cable operators continue to add targeted services to their portfolios, such as DOCSIS 3.0, Voice over IP, Switched Digital Video, and SD/HD Video on Demand. To support these advanced services, fiber must be driven deeper into the network to create smaller serving areas and increase upstream and downstream bandwidth. Motorola provides a complete range of products to migrate the existing HFC network seamlessly to a fiber deep architecture - and beyond. Key solutions include:
RF Amplifier to Optical Node Conversion
- Existing RF amplifiers in the HFC plant provide ideal locations to drive fiber deeper into the network. Motorola's MBN100 and BLN100 optical nodes drop into existing BLE and MiniBridger amplifier housings to quickly, easily and affordably evolve amplifier locations to optical nodes - reducing serving area sizes and increasing service throughput.
Migration from Segmentable Node to Optical Hub Node
- The modular design of the SG4000 4x4 segmentable optical node provides seamless fiber deep and all-fiber migration capabilities. Simply by replacing or complementing existing RF Amplifier, Return Path Transmitter, and Forward Path Receiver modules with Optical Amplifiers, Optical Switches, Optical Passives and Return Path Receiver modules, the SG4000 optical node can be migrated to an optical hub node for a simple evolution to Fiber Deep and PON architectures.
Multiwavelength Solutions
- Limited fibers in the HFC network make upstream and downstream multiwavelength solutions critical to cost effective Fiber Deep migration. By multiplexing multiple optical wavelengths onto a single fiber, Motorola helps leverage existing the existing fiber plant to enable simple, fast and economical fiber deep migration. Motorola's advanced multiwavelength porfolio offers 1310 nm E-CWDM and 1550 nm DWDM solutions in the forward path, and analog CWDM, DWDM, and Digital Return DWDM options in the return path.
