Vecima Announces Next-Generation Remote PHY Device (RPD) with Upgrade Paths for Third-Party Cable Access Nodes
15 September 2022 - 10:15PM
Business Wire
Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) today announced its latest
Remote PHY Cable Access module, which includes enhanced support for
third-party node platforms. The ERM322 module, part of Vecima’s
industry-leading Entra® Distributed Architecture Access (DAA)
platform for Cable Access, extends the useful life of widely
deployed, non-Vecima hybrid-fiber coax (HFC) access nodes.
Vecima’s ERM322 Remote PHY Device (RPD) is deployable in
Vecima’s EN8100 Access Node and EN9000 Generic Access Platform
(GAP) node. Additionally, the ERM322 is deployable in legacy nodes
from Cisco® and CommScope®, including support for full spectrum
DOCSIS 3.1, two-downstream services, and two-upstream service
groups. Based on the latest generation of silicon from the world’s
leading provider of SoCs (System on a Chip) for Remote PHY, the
ERM322 will offer significant advantages in density, capacity, and
power usage.
With tens of thousands of units deployed around the world, the
Cisco GS7000, CommScope OM4100, and CommScope NC4000 offer a base
housing and RF amplifier that can be upgraded to DAA by installing
next-generation access modules. Remote PHY and Remote MACPHY
Devices (RMDs) are available from Vecima to accommodate both
flavors of DAA available to Cable Access Service Providers.
Vecima’s upgrade path for third-party vendor nodes demonstrates
strong CapEx protection, while also offering compelling OpEx
savings. With RPD and RMD modules, additional operational controls
and monitoring are available when compared with analog transmission
modules. This control and visibility reduce the number of truck
rolls operators will require to manage the cable access
network.
“We realize not all operators are in a position to replace
legacy nodes in their migration to a Distributed Access
Architecture, higher capacity, and improved operations,” said Ryan
Nicometo, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Vecima’s
Video & Broadband Solutions business. “With the ERM322, we
specifically designed a hardware form factor that would work in a
variety of legacy platforms. Vecima has been an interoperability
leader across RPDs and CCAP cores, as well as in the emerging
Flexible MAC Architecture (FMA). Extending our industry-leading
interoperability to hardware modules was the clear next step for
us.”
The Vecima Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) product
portfolio, recently recognized by the Dell’Oro Group as the North
America market share leader in Remote MACPHY and 10G-EPON Remote
OLT solutions, is deployed by operators around the world. With
broad support for all next-generation cable access technologies,
high-value legacy services, and proven industry leading
interoperability, the networks of tomorrow are deployable today
without compromise. Learn more at vecima.com/network-access.
