Solutions for MSO/Cable Operators

Empowering Expansion

MSO/cable networks are well positioned to deliver an interactive digital future. But offering high-value residential and commercial broadband services like VoIP, high-speed Internet access, and video on demand requires moving huge quantities of traffic through the network quickly, precisely, and with absolute reliability. Enticing mobile operators to adopt an alternative, MSO-based service for wireless traffic backhaul requires guaranteed faster turnaround, pricing advantages, and predictable performance. And near-term profitability hinges on being able to use existing HFC infrastructure to meet these new service requirements.

Scalability, manageability, reliability, efficiency… these attributes define Sycamore solutions. Intelligence at the optical layer translates into simplified network expansion, improved operations, enhanced reliability and competitiveness, and reduced costs – in any network environment.

For MSO/cable operators, Sycamore technology creates new opportunities to expand services, customer base, revenue potential, and market leadership.

  • Service Velocity and Flexibility – Intelligent networking solutions integrate Ethernet and TDM services and enable rapid deployment and bandwidth provisioning, to simplify delivery of video, VoIP, and high-speed Internet services to consumer and commercial customers
  • Bandwidth Optimization – High-density headend and hub aggregation and traffic grooming optimizes utilization of physical port capacity on existing switch, router, and gateway platforms for voice and data service delivery, reducing overall costs while bringing intelligent bandwidth management closer to the network edge
  • Carrier-Class Reliability – Carrier-class ring, mesh, and point-to-point protection options ensure high network availability; distributed network intelligence provides built-in resiliency, with field-proven path protection and disaster recovery capabilities
  • Manageability and Control – Industry leading control plane technology and robust network management systems enable faster, more efficient provisioning, management, and delivery of high-speed bandwidth; streamline OAM&P; and improve network visibility from access to core
  • Scalability and Efficiency – Service-agnostic products integrate seamlessly, support graceful scalability, and ease the transition from analog to digital; right-sized platform choices ensure measured capital expenditures and rapid ROI; modular architectures and operational cost savings reduce total cost of ownership
