Motorola has expanded its cable access portfolio with addition of new products that allows cable operators to migrate their networks to fiber deep architectures. The company will demonstrate its Fiber Deep and Cable Passive Optical Networks (CablePON) offerings at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo.
The company said that the new offering for CablePON, including radio frequency over glass (RFoG) offering, allows cable operators to extend their existing services to customers using an advanced optical infrastructure.
According to Motorola, the new portfolio includes, GX2-EM1000 family of 1550nm broadcast transmitters that offers distortion-control performance out to 1GHz; SG4000 dual return receiver, which is a single slot double density return receiver for SG4000 that aggregates RFoG returns from subscribers for transmission to the hub or headend; and the N2U-OA300 series family of optical amplifiers for PONs and large distribution systems with versions featuring integrated wavelength combiners to reduce loss and save rack space
In addition, the portfolio also includes the BTN100 optical node for fiber deep that upgrades existing Motorola SG2000, SG2440 and BTN nodes to 1GHz and converts existing Motorola BT amplifiers to 1GHz nodes. It also offers optical redundancy and 2X return segmentation capability and MBN DOCSIS transponder for fiber deep that is interoperable for the SG4000, MBN100, and BTN100 optical nodes.
Joe Cozzolino, senior vice president and general manager of access networks solutions at Motorola Home and Networks Mobility, said: In the face of increasing competition, cable operators are looking for innovative and economical solutions to help them deliver advanced services to their customers from a trusted source. Motorola’s Fiber Deep and CablePON solutions offer cable operators the ability to affordably migrate fiber deeper into their networks to deliver the advanced services their customers demand.
