Supports mapping of any QAM channel on to the built-in ASI output
- Control via Ericsson system management applications
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Cable operators are moving fast to enhance the customer entertainment experience with a new wave of services and more channels that require maximizing HFC bandwidth utilization. They are looking towards the next generation of Edge QAMs to expedite deployment of these services, provide costefficiencies and plant management simplification.
Ericsson is breaking new ground delivering the next generation Edge QAM that is based on open standards and incorporates Cablelabs DOCSIS 3.0 (including DRFI and M-CMTS) specifications. The Ericsson EQ8096 is a step-change in QAM devices and is designed to exceed the functionality, density and cost points required for all uses of a cable edge modulator. It has the unique ability to operate in Broadcast, VOD, Switched Digital Video (SDV) and High Speed Data (DOCSIS) applications simultaneously within the same chassis.
The EQ8096's "pay as you grow" modular design supports up to 96QAM channels per chassis using eight 12QAM modulator cards; each RF output supporting up to four adjacent QAMs to hit the sweet spot for QAM striping resiliency strategies. The EQ8096 sets a new standard with designed-in redundancy on all inputs, hot-swap modulator cards, low power consumption and built-in options for scrambling/encryption and DTI. It is tailored for the new wave of multimedia applications to enable cable operators to take a leadership role.
