C2200 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Termination System
FEATURES
- Full DOCSIS 3.0 Qualified – Multi-channel DRFI RF for Annex A, B, & C, downstream channel bonding up to 16 channels, upstream channel bonding up to 16 channels, IPv6, AES encryption/decryption, multicast QoS, bonded channel multicast, bonded S-CDMA with multiple logic channels, full DOCSIS 3.0 MIBs, and IPDR
- Separate Downstream and Upstream Modules – Unlike traditional CMTS with fixed downstream to upstream ratio, Casa CMTS has separate downstream modules and upstream modules that provide flexible downstream to upstream ratio
- Integrated CMTS & Video QAM – DOCSIS traffic & MPEG/DVB video traffic can share the same RF channel
- Cost Effectiveness –The lowest cost per DOCSIS channel in the industry. The only economical solution for high bandwidth multimedia IP applications
- Software Licensing –Ability to activate additional channels as needed up to the available physical capacity of the module
- Superior Density – Offers the highest channel density in the industry, ranging from 48DSx16US for IP video to 32DSx32US for typical broadband service deployment in a single chassis
- Best Multi-Channel RF Performance – Exceeds DOCSIS DRFI specification
- Extended Frequency Range – Downstream frequency range up to 1GHz (48~1002MHz)
- DOCSIS 1.1 and 2.0 Features – Complete DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 1.1 and 2.0 feature sets
- Rich Operational Features – Rich operational features such as show cable modem, flap list, spectral management and IP bundling ready for deployment
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Casa Systems C2200 Cable Modem Termination System (C2200) is a new class of cable edge device that combines a third generation DOCSIS CMTS and an MPEG video Edge-QAM in a single compact 1RU platform.
The broadband access over cable market has experienced two generations of DOCSIS CMTS. Most of the products on the market today are either first generation CMTS or second generation CMTS that can be characterized by fixed downstream to upstream ratios, instantaneous bandwidth per subscriber limited to a single RF channel, very low downstream channel density per rack unit, and high cost per unit bandwidth.
The legacy CMTS does not have any MPEG video processing capability and thus makes it necessary to implement two parallel access networks for MPEG video and IP data. With those limitations, the legacy CMTS is not economically viable in the new market of high bandwidth applications such as IPTV or IP video delivery and is not competitive with other broadband access methods such as FTTX.
