CommScope Continues to Build 10G Roadmap with New Remote PHY Device

2x2 RPD supports full-spectrum DAA segmentability for the world’s largest node footprint
July 29, 2019 HICKORY, NC

CommScope today announced the continuing advancement of its Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) portfolio, with the introduction of its RD1322 2x2 Remote PHY Device (RPD). The new module – set to begin service provider testing later this year – will install directly into CommScope’s market-leading base of NC4- and OM4-series fiber nodes. This promises to extend the benefits of DAA to both traditional segmented and fiber-deep architectures.

CommScope is in a strong position to help operators get to market faster and more affordably by leveraging their existing infrastructure investments on the path to 10G. The RD1322 is the newest addition to a growing portfolio of Outside Plant (OSP) DAA solutions that enable operators to build upon their installed base of nodes to advance their plans for Extended Spectrum DOCSIS® (ESD), Full Duplex DOCSIS (FDX), DAA, Remote PON, Wireless Backhaul, DOCSIS 3.1, and more. This is especially valuable in the labor-intensive OSP domain.

CommScope’s 10G roadmap comprises its growing portfolio of traditional and DAA OSP solutions, along with a continuing commitment to innovative wired and wireless Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) and Inside Plant (ISP) solutions. CommScope offers operators multiple migration paths to 10G Service Level Agreements (SLAs), giving them the freedom to customize their evolution based on their unique needs.

CommScope’s extensive DAA portfolio includes its RPD, Remote PON, R-PHY Shelf, Video Unified Edge (VUE), ICX® Switch family, and hybrid E6000® I-CCAP/CCAP Core products. It also features a full suite of virtualized products, including the E6000 Virtual Core (vCore) and vManager framework of tools, including industry-leading monitoring, management, and traffic engineering functions.

“As global operators continue to invest in tomorrow’s 10G networks, the outside plant will represent a primary budget focus,” said Kevin Keefe, senior vice president and segment leader, Network & Cloud, CommScope. “Our RD1322 2x2 RPD is the answer for operators looking to maximize their existing infrastructure to deliver tomorrow’s networks and services as quickly as possible. We have an unmatched portfolio and breadth of experience in helping global operators deliver next-generation networks reliably and at scale. As they evolve their networks, we’ll continue to deliver the innovation to facilitate their progress.”

“CommScope has one of the largest footprints of optical nodes among major cable operators worldwide,” said Jeff Heynen, research director, Broadband Access and Home Networking, Dell’Oro Group. “As cable operators continue to distribute their access networks and increase both upstream and downstream bandwidth, the RD1322 2x2 RPD is an option, as operators choose from a variety of DAAs and pathways as they bridge to tomorrow’s networks.”

CommScope will demonstrate its new RD1322 2x2 RPD at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo (Sept 30th – Oct 3rd) in New Orleans, LA—Booth #961.
