CommScope launched it its next-generation Extended Spectrum DOCSIS (ESD) STARLINE amplifier and NC4000 optical node platforms supporting DOCSIS 4.0 operation with up to 1.8 GHz in the downstream and up to 684 MHz in the upstream.
The STARLINE RF Amplifier and NC4000 optical node platforms incorporate modular designs with electronic setup—including attenuation, equalization, and node segmentation. Deployed amplifiers and nodes can be field upgraded for ESD operation.
“CommScope’s HFC network expertise, DOCSIS innovation, and extensive deployed base uniquely positions us to support our customers in their next stage of network evolution,” stated Guy Sucharczuk, SVP & President Access Network Solutions, CommScope. “We designed our ESD platforms to drop into existing network infrastructure and realize significant cost savings in both hardware and labor, without the large upfront investment of rebuilding current plants. Our priority is our customers’ ability to choose the best migration path and strategy for their unique network. These innovations, as well as our recent milestone of over one million amplifiers shipped in just one year, are a testament to our leadership in supporting our customers’ ongoing network evolution.”
