Broadband CPE
DSL and Cable Modem
A device located at the subscriber’s home that connects to the cable or
telco network to receive and transmit digital information between subscriber-owned
Ethernet devices (e.g., desktop PC or router) and the service provider’s
headend or central office, providing Internet connectivity for data and/or voice
services.
Broadband Gateway
A device located at the subscriber’s home that connects to the cable or
telco network to receive and transmit data between subscriber-owned Ethernet
or wireless devices (e.g., laptop, tablet, smartphone, and IoT devices), IP
video devices and the service provider’s headend or central office, providing
Internet connectivity. Gateway products add wireless connectivity or other wired
connectivity to connect devices together throughout a customer’s home
as well as other features such as security.
Video CPE
Set-Top
A device installed at the subscriber’s television set that connects to
the service provider network to decode secure digital video signals and render
them as video on the television set.
Video Gateway
A device that serves as the primary video connection between the service provider
network and the subscriber’s home. This gateway will enable the delivery
of broadcast, streamed and stored video throughout the subscriber’s home
to televisions and other connected devices.
Network & Cloud
Networks
CMTS/CCAP/PON
The Cable Modem Termination System (“CMTS”) is installed at a cable
operator’s headend or hub facility and communicates with cable modems
to control the flow of data, including through allocating shared bandwidth and
prioritizing and routing traffic. The Converged Cable Access Platform (“CCAP”)
combines the functionality of a CMTS and an Edge QAM to enable voice, video
and data in a converged IP network. The CCAP functionality may be deployed either
entirely in a centralized facility or as a Distributed Access Architecture (“DAA”)
where some functions are located centrally and others are deployed at the edges
of the network.
A Passive optical network (“PON”) is a form of fiber-optic telecommunications
access technology that implements a point-to-multipoint architecture, in which
passive fiber optic splitters are used to enable a single optical fiber to serve
multiple end-points, without requiring individual fibers between the hub and
customer. A PON consists of an optical line terminal (“OLT”) at
the service provider’s central office (hub) and a number of optical network
units (“ONUs”) or optical network terminals (“ONTs”),
near end users. A PON reduces the amount of fiber and central office equipment
required compared with point-to-point architectures.
Video Systems
Service Provider and Programmer Equipment that process and package video content
for delivery over the service provider network to be received by a set-top or
gateway. Includes encoding, compression, transcoding, storage, policy management,
security and encryption, and signal modulation for HFC, DSL and/or fiber networks.
Ad Insertion Technologies supporting linear and on demand ad placement and substitution
in MPEG and IP delivery environments.
Access Technologies
Equipment in the ground or on transmission poles between service providers’
headend and subscribers’ premises, as well as equipment used to initiate
the distribution of content-carrying signals. Includes optical transmission
equipment, Fiber Nodes, RF Amplifiers and metro Wi-Fi wireless products.
