GigaXtend SGT 1.2GHz Taps

The ATX SGT 1.2GHz Tap product line allows MSOs to fully and efficiently utilize their broadband networks to provide all DOCSIS services up to version 3.1. The devices will work with any upstream/downstream split used today to greatly increase upstream capacity. Downstream capacity may be recovered utilizing OFDM in the full 1218MHz spectrum that these devices support. These capabilities allow MSOs to build an entire HFC ecosystem that would offer higher data rate tiers to subscribers, supporting new and improved services along with maximizing revenue per subscriber.
