GigaWave Digital Optical Transport: Hubsite Collapse

Solution Briefs

MSOs established hubsites and set up service areas based largely on the limitations of analog optics, including signal degradation over long distances. The ongoing displacement of analog optics with digital provides MSOs with the opportunity to improve overall operational efficiency by reducing the number of physical hubsites in their networks. ATX’s GigaWave™ Digital Optical Transport solution is optimized to assist MSOs in improving operational efficiency by enabling cable operators to shrink now-unneeded physical hubsites into all-passive modules that can be mounted on a line or located in an enclosure.

Discover the capabilities and benefits:

  • Realize operational efficiencies and reduce complexity by reducing the number of physical hubsites in your network
  • Reduce costs related to physical hubsites, such as property taxes, HVAC and staffing, by eliminating no-longer-needed physical structures
  • Eliminate site visits and reduce truck rolls by shrinking physical hubsites into a series of passive mux/demuxes that can be mounted on a wire or placed in a small enclosure
  • Protect against network outages and reduce service disruptions in remote areas by leveraging the redundancy capabilities of the GigaWave solution
  • Decrease carbon footprint by eliminating the waste and energy usage required for the continued operation of unnecessary physical structures
