Passive Optical Networks (PON) for HFC Access

Deploy a flexible, unified network with a built-in competitive edge

For cable operators, staying competitive and seizing the all fiber opportunity does not mean walking away from existing investments in HFC networks and DOCSIS®. The key to successful network evolution is to extend the lifespan of their existing networks, while deploying PON solutions that can coexist alongside them and provide an evolutionary path to what’s next.

The CommScope FLX™ portfolio gives MSOs the flexibility they need to migrate their networks to PON on their own terms. Operators can choose to build out an EPON network with DPoE, which provides the fastest path to PON, requires minimal changes to headend and CPE infrastructure, and offers a low total CapEx. They can also deploy a GPON/XGS-PON network for maximum performance and a modern back office. And, with a single pane of glass for both HFC and PON technologies,  ServAssure® Domain Manger and ServAssure NXT Performance Manager ensure that cable operators work smarter, not harder.
