(Telecompaper) Cisco announced a new platform to help cable operators deliver 10 Gbps broadband. The cBR-8 Evolved Converged Cable Access Platform is a first for the industry, Cisco said, offering broadband operators full Docsis 3.1 capabilities and the ability to scale to 10 Gbps without the need for multiple system rewiring. The cBR-8 integrates the previously stand-alone functions required in a cable hub, helping cable operators to achieve savings that could exceed 40 percent of capital and operating expenses over five years, compared to other CCAP platforms, Cisco claims. The Cisco platrform is designed to support the anticipated video and data services transformation over the next decade and beyond. In addition to Docsis 3.1, the cBR-8 will deliver distributed CCAP, full spectrum video convergence, and software defined networking. Cisco Migration Services are also available for the cBR-8. The product is shipping already to multiple cable operators' networks worldwide, including Comcast and Altice.
