Broadband Infrastructure

The Current Analysis Broadband Infrastructure module focuses on wireline broadband systems and related technologies that are deployed in the access portion of service provider networks between the service provider edge and the customer premises, enabling services such as consumer multi-play packages (e.g., high-speed Internet access, voice/VoIP and IPTV/video). The Broadband Infrastructure module also includes coverage of networking technologies and solutions that enable broadband aggregation and subscriber/service provisioning.  ► Full coverage description

The Current Analysis Broadband Infrastructure module focuses on wireline broadband systems and related technologies that are deployed in the access portion of service provider networks between the service provider edge and the customer premises, enabling services such as consumer multi-play packages (e.g., high-speed Internet access, voice/VoIP and IPTV/video). The Broadband Infrastructure module also includes coverage of networking technologies and solutions that enable broadband aggregation and subscriber/service provisioning. Coverage areas include:

CMTS – Cable modem termination systems (CMTS) are cable access platforms that are deployed at the head-end or distribution hub of the cable operator network to perform termination of multiple subscriber cable modem connections, and can also perform additional networking functions such as aggregation and edge routing.

DSLAMs - Digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM) solutions include broadband access platforms designed for delivering DSL services of central office (CO)-based, remote terminal (RT), and outside plant (OSP) platforms that enable operators to deploy DSL broadband access to both business-class and residential customers over the existing copper infrastructure.

FTTP – Fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) solutions include both passive optical networking (PON) and active or point-to-point Ethernet FTTP solutions and technologies, both of which leverage optical line terminal (OLT) platforms at the operator CO in conjunction with optical network terminal (ONT) solutions at the customer premise.

IP Services Platforms – IP services platforms complement carriers' existing access and backbone equipment by providing a single service delivery point to execute network functions such as broadband remote access server (BRAS), aggregation, subscriber management, and the provisioning and billing of IP-based services.

DLC/MSAP – Digital loop carrier/multi-service access platform (MSAP) solutions are purpose-built telco access platforms designed for OSP environments such as RTs to extend both voice and data access services to subscribers located beyond the serving area of an operator CO. The DLC/MSAP market segment includes next generation DLC (NG DLC) platforms that support legacy GR-303/V5.2 network interfaces for interworking with the PSTN and packet-based broadband loop carrier (BLC) solutions which support multiple broadband interfaces as well as traditional narrowband interfaces and capabilities.
