FTTH solutions applied to CATV network

Cable operators need to drive down the operational costs and to simultaneously open the door to new revenue-generating services. The SUBONET architecture employs concepts familiar to HFC practitioners. The Fibre Node Hub feeds homes with broadcast TV while upstream signals are summed and transmitted back to the headend. This architecture overcomes many of the problems with competitive HFC solutions, providing a fiber-based access infrstructure at costs similar to those of building HFC systems, reducing the operating maintenance costs and laying the groundwork for future applications. EMC’s SUBONET consists of three solutions. Each of these systems provides a cost effective way of ensuring total transparency for existing legacy CATV services as well as building a flexible platform for future communication.
