Access and transport
Simplifying HFC migration to FTTx
It’s not uncommon for service providers to use multiple architectural approaches to evolve their access networks. But delivering 10G broadband (and beyond) means finding ways to increase subscriber bandwidth; reduce head-end congestion, network complexity and OpEx; and improve overall system reliability.
At CommScope, we’re committed to helping service providers get the most from their existing hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC), fiber deep access and transport plant infrastructure—working together to:
- Increase the capacity of networks
- Extend the bandwidth and life of existing coaxial cable in the last mile
- Expand and build onto their last mile capabilities with fiber
Our Professional Services team is available to help design greenfield networks or upgrades to your existing network. We work with all the leading design tools. We adopt your standards for designs so that our work integrates smoothly into your operations.
Challenges and opportunities
Head-end evolution
Our fiber network solutions remedy crowded head-end spaces and reduce power consumption and OpEx.
Embrace a fiber future
When expanding or reconfiguring your network, consider using fiber as your default. Deploying fiber in greenfield projects costs less than replacing coaxial with fiber later.
Why CommScope?
We speak fiber
As an authority and innovator in fiber optics, CommScope has the knowledge and advanced solutions to help any network dominate the fiber future.
Award-winning solutions
Even though our ultimate goal is to design and create solutions that improve your network, we’re honored when our industry experts recognize the intelligence and creativity we put into our solutions.
Global innovator
With more than 10,000 patents across the world in more than a dozen industry categories, CommScope designs and creates solutions that help your network work at its best.
Featured products for access and transport
Distributed access architecture (DAA)
DAA reduces the number of active devices, replaces analog optics from the headend to the node, and creates additional space in the headend.
Fiber to the Home (FTTH)
For service providers—where capacity or competition is such that multi-gigabit symmetrical (upstream and downstream) services are required—FTTH via an Ethernet passive optical network is the answer.
Radio Frequency over Glass (RFoG)
RFoG delivers FTTx by eliminating HFC nodes, RF amplifiers and taps in the network, while continuing to utilize existing cable headend, subscriber equipment and back-office support systems.
