Advanced HFC
Bandwidth demand keeps growing, and your subscribers expect connectivity that’s always reliable. Centralized access architectures often can’t keep up — limited by fiber capacity, headend space and the resources needed to manage increasingly complex networks. That’s where advancing technology for Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC) workflows make a real difference for your network.
ATX’s solutions bring key network functions closer to the people who depend on them, extending the digital domain deeper into your network. Combined with intelligent monitoring, remote control and resilient standby power, ATX gives you a clearer, more manageable path to DOCSIS 4.0, while improving performance, simplifying operations and reducing the need for field intervention.
Increase network capacity
Use digital optical transport to improve fiber efficiency and support growing bandwidth demand.
Improve reliability
Move key functions closer to subscribers and gain greater visibility into network performance.
Reduce field intervention
Use monitoring and remote control to identify issues sooner and simplify troubleshooting.
Reclaim headend resources
Reduce specialized hardware, rack space, power and cooling requirements.
Scale in practical stages
Modernize priority areas while extending the value of existing HFC infrastructure.
Prepare for DOCSIS 4.0
Create a distributed, software-driven foundation for continued network evolution.
The ATX approach
Deploy it whole or one piece at a time. Start with what matters most right now and add the rest when you’re ready. Each solution integrates with the rest so your network grows the way you need it to — not the way a vendor wants to sell it to you.
Monitoring and control
Meeting rising bandwidth and reliability demands requires more than distributing network functions. You also need real-time visibility and remote control to manage a more complex outside plant, reduce field intervention and support a resilient path to DOCSIS 4.0. Connected monitoring and control to prevent complexity from shifting into the field is more important than ever. Achieve greater visibility across optical transport, nodes, amplifiers and standby power so that your team identifies issues sooner, accelerates troubleshooting, reduces field intervention and protects service continuity.
Monitor optical amplification, switching and platform status remotely to protect critical transport paths and strengthen network reliability. The GigaWave Opti-HUB’s integrated controller supports remote monitoring and control through web and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) interfaces.
Provide localized connectivity between transponder-equipped amplifiers and remote monitoring and control workflows across the serving area.
Embedded transponders provide access to amplifier performance data, spectrum information and configuration controls — helping you identify issues faster and simplify maintenance across the cascade. GigaXtend Amplifiers can also integrate directly with Harmonic cOS™ Amply for centralized monitoring and troubleshooting.
Give your technicians tools for configuring, aligning and troubleshooting GigaXtend nodes and amplifiers, while preserving configuration information for future reference.
Monitor voltage, available current, charging status and alerts remotely to confirm backup readiness and reduce manual inspections.
