AOI white paper maps paths to 3.0GHz HFC network expansion
AAOI•Applied Optoelectronic published a white paper assessing options to expand CATV HFC network spectrum beyond 1.8GHz toward 3.0GHz.
1. Expansion options
Applied Optoelectronic published a white paper assessing options to expand CATV HFC network spectrum beyond 1.8GHz toward 3.0GHz. The analysis flagged higher-frequency upgrades as shifting capital and engineering focus toward amplifiers, power and outside-plant architecture.
2. Technology evolution
The paper also pointed to required evolution in DOCSIS and distributed access architecture to use additional spectrum once available.
