Synchronization is Essential for DOCSIS 3.0

Broadband cable operators are ramping up next generation services, and are adopting the Modular CMTS (M-CMTS) platform, where cost-effective modular network components are shared across multiple services.

The DOCSIS Timing Interface was developed as part of the DOCSIS 3.0 and M-CMTS specifications, to deliver precise timing and synchronization to new modular devices, at the cable headend and the downstream edge.

Overview / Benefits

  • Scale broadband cable infrastructures with cost-effective, modular components – Pay as you grow, in response to subscriber demands, quality expectations, and revenues
  • Maximize ROI from existing infrastructure, by increasing network utilization in the core, downstream and upstream, by leveraging modular components of M-CMTS
  • Deploy new revenue generating applications – Add HDTV channels, Video on Demand, and new business and commercial services (legacy T1/E1 and point-to-point circuits)
  • Scale to 132 outputs in a single site, with five nines reliability, for high capacity applications.

Products

  • TimeCreator 1000 DTI Server - Manage network quality, monitor performance, and support frequency and timestamps on broadband cable networks with the most reliable and precise time and frequency synchronization available.
  • DTI Client Reference Design Kit -  Enables hardware designers to integrate a DTI Client onto a PC circuit board for DOCSIS Timing Interface functionality.
