5 Key Trends
1
Access network densification: geometric growth in number of access end points
to meet broadband coverage and capacity demands
2
Network convergence: fixed and mobile networks integrating to provide
ubiquitous ultra-broadband services
3
Service provider convergence: providers expand portfolios into adjacent
domains (cable for MSOs; mobile for MNOs) organically or through M&A
4
Network transformation: service providers re-thinking architectures and moving
quickly toward cloud + SDN / NFV for networks and data centers
5
Programmable Networks: resultant transformed networks enable exponential
growth in offerings from service providers to end users and third parties

• Upgrade CCAP to
D3.1, leverage
channel bonding
• Make full use of
spectrum, boost
speeds to 10Gbps
Meeting today’s throughput and QoS demands
• Push access to
demand hot spots
and enterprises
with R-PHY,
leveraging deep
fiber assets
• Add Wi-Fi with
dormant small cells
to support VoWi-Fi
and enable SCaaS
• Virtualize
network

later be virtualized
Headend/hub and Remote PHY are connected via 10G optics

Supports all CCAP services; managed like current CCAP devices;
reuse existing infrastructure
No change to CM/STBs
• Allows bandwidth growth while reducing space and

Replaces high cost analog optics with lower cost digital optics
Reducing RF cascading increases SNR - higher modulation
