GigaXtend GS7 1.8GHz Optical Node

The ATX GigaXtend® GS7 1.8GHz Optical Node is a seamless and logical successor to the widely deployed Cisco® GS7000 Node platform. Supporting the DOCSIS® 4.0 standards for Extended Spectrum DOCSIS, the GigaXtend GS7 Optical Node will support upgrade needs for 1.8GHz with ultra-high split deployments.

ATX has fortified GigaXtend GS7 1.8GHz Nodes with new maintenance and control intelligence. Auto-alignment helps reduce the technicians’ learning curve, significantly streamlining installation and maintenance operations. Technicians can configure and tune GigaXtend GS7 Nodes using an iOS or Android device through a Bluetooth connection and the intuitive ATX GigaXtend Orchestrator GUI.

The GigaXtend GS7 Node ships standard with the ATX RPD Optical Interface Board (OIB), providing an optimized platform for DOCSIS 3.1 Remote PHY deployments. The streamlined OIB architecture is optimized for deployments in Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) networks.

Easier Installation
and Maintenance

Your technicians can configure and tune nodes using any iOS or Android device over Bluetooth — no specialized tools, no extra hardware. All-electronic level and slope control simplify the process from first install through ongoing maintenance, so your team spends less time in the field and more time moving the network forward.

A Clear Path
to DOCSIS 4.0

The GigaXtend GS7 supports 1.8GHz, Remote-PHY and PON architectures today, with a seamless path to DOCSIS 4.0 when your team is ready. Full backward compatibility with existing GS7000 bases means your team can transition to Extended Spectrum DOCSIS and high- and ultra-high-split spectrum without disruptive enclosure changes. Your investment is protected. Your timeline is yours.

Less Operational Overhead

If your team already runs GS7000 nodes, there's no new platform to learn and no retraining required. Advanced electronics eliminate the need to stock plug-ins and modules for spectrum segmentation, reducing both costs and the complexity your technicians manage in the field.

Built for a
Multivendor World

The GigaXtend GS7 is designed to integrate with third-party technologies, giving your team flexibility as DAA, PON and future architectures evolve. One platform. Multiple applications. Your choice of how to get there.

Radio
Distribution

The C-Band transition path for radio networks — IP distribution, localized ad insertion and verified playout without replacing station hardware or disrupting operations.
