As subscribers bandwidth demand increase, and the competitive landscape becomes more intense, cable operators are evolving their Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC) network architecture to meet the new expectations. Distributed Access Architecture (DAA), with R-PHY and Remote MAC/PHY deployment options brings Ethernet/IP closer to the subscriber, and unlocks potential for higher DOCSIS speeds, but also brings new deployment challenges. VeEX’s product portfolio provides the tools that accompany the architecture’s migration, from traditional HFC networks to DAA:
- Tools for the legacy Coax plant with sweep and leakage
- DOCSIS 3.0/DOCSIS 3.1 OFDM testing support for legacy and new installations
- Tools that automate the entire process with home and business birth certificates
- Complete set of optical products to test the fiber access: CWDM/DWDM OTDR, OSA and Optical Channel Checker and Fiber Loss
- Centralized and cloud based Monitoring for RF (Return and Forward), MPEG, Ethernet, Fiber and PNM (Return and Forward)
- Comprehensive test tools that support Business services: ISDN PRI, VoIP SIP Trunk testing, Ethernet
- Ethernet testing at 400G, 100G, 40G, 10G and 1Gbps to support all segments, from Core to Access
- R-PHY timing verification with IEEE 1588v2/PTP testing support
- 5G mobile backhaul/fronthaul readiness with precision timing services verification
- 400G, OTUCn, FlexE, 100GE, 100GE RS-FEC, 50GE, 40GE, 25GE, OTU4, OTU3, STL256.4
- Available in CFP8, CFP4, CFP2, CFP, QSFP28, QSFP+ Interfaces
- With or without lower Ethernet, OTN and legacy SDH/SONET PDH/DSn interfaces
Headend and Hub Solutions
VeSion Cloud-based system brings visibility over legacy and DAA nodes. The VeSion Probes family offers solutions for HFC network, PNM, Sweep, Fiber monitoring and Ethernet, all under one system umbrella.
Ethernet Core to Access Solutions
With extreme modularity and an open platform concept, the RXT-1200™ defines the test set of the future. The RXT® combines multiple technologies, from legacy Datacom to 400G, into a rugged modular platform.
OSP Fiber Optics Solutions
VeEX’s optical test solutions are optimized for all communication networks and are well suited for the OSP.
RF Field Test Solutions
Ensure SLA and end-to-end quality of service (QoS) compliance during the installation, verification and maintenance of business-oriented services.
IEEE 1588v2/PTP and Time Synchronization Measurements
The DAA migration creates a new challenge as timing synchronization needs to be achieved between the core and the nodes. VeEX’s solutions bring the capability to verify the integrity of the timing prior to deployment or for troubleshooting with handheld field test sets equipped with high accuracy selfcontained clock references.
