Optical Transport Solutions for Cable Operators

Aurora Networks, Inc. will showcase its European product line and unveil a new product for BK networks that will simplify network segmentation at this year's ANGA Cable Show, taking place June 12-14 in Cologne, Germany.

The company will display its segmentation options that support the increasing need for further network capacity required to deliver bandwidth-intensive services to residential customers. Products that Aurora Networks will be displaying at the show include digital return optimized for BK networks, full spectrum DWDM technology, Fiber Deep, Fiber-to-the-Premises solutions (FTTP), such as RFoG, RFPON and an industry-leading transition path to GEPON services, Trident7™ platform, and the industry's first Node QAM technology.

Aurora Networks' Solutions at ANGA

• Digital Return, the first to be customized for Germany's unique BK architecture. As shown with its field-proven 5-65 MHz Digital Return module for the NC2000 and NC4000 optical node platforms, this technology enables cable operators to cost-effectively and efficiently segment their networks, doubling and quadrupling available capacity.
• Multi-Wavelength Segmentation solutions include Aurora Networks' high-performance full spectrum DWDM transmitters; a very cost-effective technology to significantly increase capacity-per-subscriber without expensive fiber construction. The company will also showcase its LcWDM^® and DWDM multi-wavelength technologies along with its NC4000 and the European-optimized NC2000 optical node platforms, which enable multi-wavelength node segmentation over just one fiber.
• Fiber Deep is cable's first truly green network architecture, providing a future-proof platform for cable operators. Aurora Networks' solution eliminates the need for RF amplifiers, resulting in power costs reducing by ~50% and operating costs by ~65%.
• RFoG and RFPON (RFoG plus PON) solutions support both direct-fed and distributed RFoG architectures. Aurora Networks will feature its RFoG CPE product range along with its VHub™ and PON technology.
• Trident7 Platform is the latest addition to the company's comprehensive PON portfolio. The company's end-to-end PON solutions enable cable operators to cost-effectively deliver all optical IP Ethernet-based services to the home or commercial customer. The extensive PON portfolio includes Node PON, Trident7 products, and a comprehensive selection of Optical Network Terminals (ONTs).
• Remote QAM is the industry's first Node QAM. The company's latest innovation drives edge QAM technology to the optical node where it can provide the ultimate in network service flexibility at the lowest cost.
