Teleste has upgraded its ICON9000 Remote PHY (R-PHY) node to be compatible with Full Duplex DOCSIS. The node, intended for North American markets, is designed to support Distributed Access Architectures (DAA) and symmetrical 10 Gbps speeds.
"Full-duplex DOCSIS continues the recent DOCSIS 3.1 technology advancements that have been driving the cable industry beyond gigabit speeds over HFC networks. It provides clear advantages for operators who wish to maintain competitiveness and be prepared to meet the future. Following our strategy to make technology transitions as easy as possible for our customers, the full-duplex ICON9000 introduces the next step of broadband evolution to our product portfolio", said Hanno Narjus, global head of Teleste's network products business and CEO of Teleste Intercept.
The Full Duplex upgrade can be done simply by placing an FDX Remote PHY module in an ICON9000 node.
The 1.2 GHz optical fiber node is designed to perform a number of tasks, such as automatic alignments and self-configuration, as well as diagnostic capability.
