iPhotonix, an innovation leader for the fiber optic network solution industry, says that CASSCOMM has selected their RF Return technology solutions. CASSCOMM serving in 11 counties in central Illinois will take advantage of the RF return technology for enhanced broadvision cable delivery.
MSO and Telecom operators continue to look for innovative ways to bring high bandwidth and higher value services to their customers while leveraging their existing current network investments. GPON is a compelling option to fulfill this challenge when combined with RF Overlay and RF Return Path Technology offered by iPhotonix. An operator of multiple cable or direct broadcast satellite television systems is called an MSO or Multiple System Operator. Any cable company that serves multiple communities is an MSO, but in many countries such as US and UK, the term MSO is usually reserved for companies that own a large number of cable systems.
While GPON RF Overlay solutions compatible with MSO video service offerings have been available in the market for a while, the opportunity to combine it with an innovative return path solution is now realized with the iPhotonix integrated RF-R Solution. iPhotonix’s proprietary Return Path technology allows operators to leverage their traditional head-end systems and set-top boxes (STBs) in a new GPON network, while gaining dramatic increases in both upstream and downstream bandwidth performance. iPhotonix’s RF Return Path technology is a key enabler for revenue streams such as Video On Demand (VOD) services and Switch Digital Video (SDV) “long tail” traffic that continues to experience explosive growth
CASSCOMM has been aggressively deploying fiber optic networks. The operator use several different technologies to accomplish this deployment. The iPhotonix solution will allow them to offer video in areas where they do not have traditional DOCSIS cable plant. iPhotonix Ethernet return technology, where GPON is combined with their Switched IP Video, all High Definition Platform from Adara Technologies, will be used when the operator develop greenfield areas.
iPhotonix has been developing and commercializing a portfolio of products and solutions to help communication service providers such as CASSCOMM migrate to optical access networks in an easier, faster and more affordable way. iPhotonix optical network terminal (ONT) and residential gateways integrate two RF return technologies, compatible with the two major types of customer premises equipment in cable companies’ installed bases. These proprietary RF return technologies are an offering of the iPhotonix iVolve platform, which utilizes a complete and comprehensive array of networks, devices, terminals and distribution units and is the most advanced, fully certified, standard compliant ONT in the world.
