CCAP and the full IP NSGPro provide a simple and flexible path as a converged wired access platform (CCAP), offering high-density universal edge QAM capabilities and a straightforward upgrade path for future integrated CMTS functionality. The 9-RU NSGPro boasts industry-leading density, integrating broadcast video, video on demand, and data into a single system, minimizing costs; whether today or as operators expand their IP infrastructure. NSGPro offers you unparalleled flexibility to deploy applications when you need them, with CCAP and tomorrow's full IP architecture providing a simple, cost-effective path.
Highlights CCAP Compatibility: Universal edge QAM today, a simple upgrade path for future integrated CMTS, a straightforward and cost-effective upgrade path to full CCAP, full QAM agility across the RF spectrum (50-1002 MHz) with leading backend office systems converging narrow integrated downstream M-CMTS applications into a single system. Redundancy, hot-swappable components combined with virtualization significantly reduce the RF network, resulting in a highly available platform.
CCAP complies with the core supplier group of the Pro platform and universal edge QAM implementation consistent with CCAP specifications.
Integrated CMTS functionality will be available in the future, simply by adding upstream line cards to the same chassis.
Through this approach, NSG Pro provides a simple, cost-effective path to full CCAP.
Application convergence NSG allows you to converge narrow and downstream CMTS traffic into a single system. Application fusion maximizes flexibility, reduces costs, and, along with virtualization, eliminates complex wiring when these functions are needed on different systems.
The 9-RU chassis supports unparalleled density, with very high density measured by the number of downstream QAM channels and service group ports per chassis for each rack unit and RF port. The special density of NSGPro reduces rack space requirements. NSGPro's high availability offers a high level of reliability through the highly reliable CableOS system software, high levels of redundancy, and hot-swappable components. The simplest integration of NSG Pro operates with Harmonic CableOS, our market-leading edge QAM product, which has been proven across thousands of installations. This allows NSG to seamlessly integrate into your environment, reducing deployment time and enabling you to accelerate the delivery of new services.
