Product Details
Cable operators have seen exponential growth in broadband traffic in recent years. According to industry reports, downstream and upstream traffic grew significantly annually for the past several years. Even after many years of high rates of traffic growth, the pace continues. Much of this growth is due to the consumption of video, which accounts for a significant and growing percentage of bandwidth used in Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial (HFC) networks.
Cisco® Converged Broadband Router-8 (cBR-8) is the next-generation, highly available, fully redundant, terabit-capable Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) from Cisco. It allows cable operators to deliver more bandwidth, higher service tiers, and greater agility in deploying new applications and services, while minimizing operational expenses, power requirements, and rack space requirements in cable headends.
With industry-leading density and the capability to converge DOCSIS data, MPEG video, and IP video onto a single system, the Cisco cBR-8 Converged Broadband Router provides cable operators with a simple, cost-effective path to a full CCAP and the all-IP infrastructure. In addition to new DOCSIS® and optical networking capabilities, the Cisco cBR-8 Converged Broadband Router will also be capable of applying Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and virtualization technologies to virtualize, integrate, and automate the access architecture of cable operators.
