CMTS Software supports channel bonding on BSR systems.
Press Release Summary:
Motorola Broadband Services Router (BSR) 64000 cable modem termination system (CMTS) v4.4 software features integrated DOCSIS 3.0 support. It enables operators to achieve ultra-broadband rates and deliver more than 145 Mbps to single DOCSIS cable modem and more than 200 Mbps to single EuroDOCSIS cable modem. Additional functions include ability to bond of up to 4 physical channels into single logical channel and dynamic load balancing.
Original Press Release:
New Motorola Software Release Features Support for Channel Bonding on Installed BSR 64000 Systems
Operators benefit from an easy migration to DOCSIS(R) 3.0 channel bonding for delivery of Ultra-Broadband services
LAS VEGAS, May 8 // -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT)
today announced that support for DOCSIS 3.0 will be integrated into the
Motorola Broadband Services Router (BSR) 64000 cable modem termination system
(CMTS) 4.4 software release. The new software offers all existing BSR 64000
customers with 2:8 CMTS Modules the ability to leverage standards-based,
downstream channel bonding with a simple software install. This new software
release will give operators the ability to achieve Ultra-Broadband rates and
deliver more than 145 Mbps to a single DOCSIS cable modem and more than 200
Mbps to a single EuroDOCSIS cable modem without the need for additional
hardware.
Motorola works with service providers around the globe to drive enhanced
capacity and throughput on every kind of broadband network. For cable
operators, channel bonding is a way to expand throughput by a factor of four
to individual DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS 3.0 cable modems. This improved bandwidth
lends cable operators an advantage as they face increasing competitive
pressures from the telecom industry and fiber-to-the-home deployments.
"Our goal has always been to give our customers a viable route toward the
delivery of Ultra-Broadband services, and our intensive development work on
the DOCSIS 3.0 standard was conducted specifically with that goal in mind,"
said Kevin Keefe, vice president marketing, Motorola Connected Home Solutions.
"The 4.4 software release provides the bandwidth benefits of the DOCSIS 3.0
standard while at the same time helping to protect our customers' investments
in Motorola CMTS hardware."
The BSR 64000 configured with existing 2:8 CMTS Modules is designed to
allow cable operators to bond up to four physical channels into a single
logical channel for delivering targeted bandwidth. Through Dynamic Load
Balancing, the Motorola software solution also helps enable legacy cable
modems to share the same bandwidth as bonded, DOCSIS 3.0 cable modems.
The Motorola implementation of channel bonding will be demonstrated at
CableNET Pavilion -- Booth #221 in the Las Vegas Convention Center, May 7-9,
2007.
