BigBand Networks unveils Modular CMTS Architecture

Platform integration of BigBand Cuda CMTS and BigBand BME edge QAM leverages deployed equipment to dramatically increase capacity and reduce costs

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- THE NATIONAL CABLE SHOW -- BigBand Networks, Inc., a leading provider of network platforms for video, voice and data services, today introduced its modular CMTS (cable modem termination system) architecture for next-generation IP services over cable networks. Enhancements to the established BigBand Cuda(R) CMTS and BigBand BME(TM) (Broadband Multimedia-Service Edge) platforms will enable quadruple downstream capacities in accordance with the developing CableLabs(R) M-CMTS standard, at a fraction of current costs-per-bit.
"In the face of intensifying competition from broadband alternatives, cable operators embracing BigBand Networks' M-CMTS approach will provide the highest bandwidth services at the greatest profitability," said BigBand Networks CTO Ran Oz. "Our solution builds on the established BigBand Cuda and BigBand BME platforms so that our customers can leverage infrastructure investments already made while implementing the most advanced broadband architecture."

Bank Of America Investment The modular CMTS approach provides an open upgrade path for currently deployed BigBand Cuda platforms and their utilized components. This architecture decouples the DOCSIS MAC (media access control) processing from the physical QAM modulation. A fully populated Cuda12000 chassis is capable of DOCSIS processing more than 3 gigabits-per-second, which is four times greater than the previous capacity. The MAC-processed content from the Cuda can interface to the BME for downstream QAM modulation. BigBand Networks is introducing economical and easily deployed hardware and software enhancements to its current platforms to achieve the M-CMTS architecture.

Energy industry regulator Ofgem has proposed a billion investment in the UK's energy network in order to replace old infrastructure.

Investment Opportunity The BigBand BME is currently broadly used for QAM modulation of MPEG content required for digital video services such as VOD and switched broadcast. A full gigabit-per-second content can be QAM modulated on the compact BME50 platform of 1.5 rack units. This is achieved at superior economics to legacy approaches of QAM integrated into conventional CMTS platforms. Because of its programmability and versatility across media, the BME can also be upgraded to dynamically assign its resources between multiple types of content including MPEG video and DOCSIS data sharing the same QAM channels.

Banc Of America Investment "M-CMTS is an important step in realizing the cable industry's next generation initiatives, which BigBand Networks' platforms will continue to lead through dynamic allocation of bandwidth and resources across all media and services, further improving operator economics and subscriber experiences," added Ran Oz.
