Audience Poll II: Besides cost, what do you see as the biggest factor in choosing which access technology to deploy?

• Performance

• Symmetrical nature

• Latency

• Guaranteed speeds

• Other

Applications

• Operators driving fiber deep into the network or to the building (FTTB) and

want to leverage the existing coaxial wiring without sacrificing performance.

• ISPs deploying fiber-based networks that terminate the optical signal in the

basement and use the existing coax to reach each unit or apartment.

• Wired backhaul for 4G and eventually 5G cellular service.

• Hotels, hospitals, restaurants, offices and any building with existing coax.

Summary

• Throughputs of 2.5 Gbps downstream and 2 Gbps upstream.Throughput is up t

• Latency less than 6ms.

• Point-to-multipoint serving up to 63 modems (clients).

• Works over existing in-building coaxial wiring.

• Operating frequency range of 400MHz - 1675MHz.

• Co-exists with TV, DOCSIS and cellular (4G/5G) technologies.

• Roadmap to 10 Gbps.
