Advanced Network Solutions Optimized for DOCSIS 3.1 Roll-outs; Deploy Aurora Networks headend, node and return technology to ready networks for next-generation services


(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Aurora Networks, a Pace company, and a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced, next-generation Optical Transport and Access Network solutions for broadband networks that support the convergence of video, data and voice applications, today outlines how its suite of solutions are primed for DOCSIS 3.1 services. The solutions include its latest high-density transmitter technologies, industry-leading node platforms and its Universal Digital Return Technology.



Headend Transmitter Technology Auroras recently launched double-density transmission system - HT3541H full spectrum and HT3300H 1310 nm transmitters - and its HLP4800 high-density transmission platform, SUPRALink SPL7210, full spectrum DWDM universal and PWRLink II PWL4200 DFB transmitters, are 1.2 GHz capable. Scalable Optical Node Platforms Auroras industry-leading NC4000 scalable optical node platform now supports extended operation to 1.2 GHz with a 250 MHz-ready upstream. Similarly, Auroras latest node, the AN2 ultra high output compact node, is a 1.2 GHz platform with a 250 MHz-ready upstream. Moreover, all platforms continue to support all the advanced modules needed to support next-generation services.

Universal Digital Return Technology Upgrading to the higher return bandwidth supported by DOCSIS 3.1 specifications can be very expensive. Auroras Universal Digital Return technology is a very efficient solution. It has built-in upgrade capability for both the transmitter and the receiver to support up to twice the return path bandwidth and single or dual return segments per wavelength; cable operators can deploy a 5-42 MHz system today which will also support a 5-85 MHz return path, when needed, at no additional cost. No expensive rip-and-replace needed. Moreover, digital return technology is available to support a return path of 200+ MHz, with no performance degradation.


What Aurora Networks Says With the imminent launch of DOCSIS 3.1 services, it is critical that operators ready their networks today to take advantage of all the features of this new specification, said Scott Weinstein, vice president of marketing, Aurora Networks. With our industry-leading technology, Aurora Networks solutions are the obvious choice.
