Full spectrum CATV overlay is a core competence, as well as a distinctive system function of the PBN FTTx offering. The FTTx distribution network is enabled with forward path RF signaling by means of wavelength division multiplexing and 1550nm laser transmission equipment. The tailored WDM and Transmission options apply to both Point to Point and Point to Multipoint FTTx deployment topologies.
A dedicated optical signal channel allow delivery of Digital HD television signals as well as traditional analogue signals without impacting the Ethernet stream as an IPTV solution might do. With full spectrum utilization this service can deliver up to 5.5 Gbps of digital video information simultaneously to all subscribers.
Individual CATV receivers embedded in each PBN CPE are manageable and allow conditional service access controlled by the Network managing platform. Solution permutations are available for single or dual fiber delivery and can be paired with hybrid digital STBs if both IPTV and RF Video on Demand services are to be offered.
So whether upgrading existing cable MSO infrastructure or deploying a Greenfield FTTx network, the PBN CATV overlay solution can be tailored to your every need.
