A DOCSIS architecture includes two primary components: a cable modem located at the customer premises, and a cable modem termination system (CMTS) located at the CATV headend. [28] The customer PC and associated peripherals are termed customer-premises equipment (CPE). The CPE are connected to the cable modem, which is in turn connected through ...
DOCSIS 2.0 added support for S-CDMA PHY, while DOCSIS 3.0 added IPv6 support and channel bonding to allow a single cable modem to use concurrently more than one upstream channel and more than one downstream channel in parallel. Virtually all cable modems operating in the field today are compliant with one of the DOCSIS versions.
Video traffic can be fed over coax to a set-top box, while voice and data traffic can be delivered to an embedded multimedia terminal adapter (eMTA), which connects to analog telephone lines over the subscriber’s internal phone wiring and to PCs via Ethernet or WiFi. The return path for voice, data, and video traffic is over a 1310 or 1590/ ...
The Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) is an international standards consortium that publishes specifications for networking over coaxial cable.The technology was originally developed to distribute IP television in homes using existing cabling, but is now used as a general-purpose Ethernet link where it is inconvenient or undesirable to replace existing coaxial cable with optical fiber or ...
Linksys manufactures a series of network routers. Many models are shipped with Linux-based firmware and can run third-party firmware. The first model to support third-party firmware was the very popular Linksys WRT54G series. The Linksys WRT160N/WRT310N series is the successor to the WRT54G series of routers from Linksys.
A cable modem termination system (CMTS, also called a CMTS Edge Router) [1] is a piece of equipment, typically located in a cable company's headend or hubsite, which is used to provide data services, such as cable Internet or Voice over IP, to cable subscribers.
[58] [59] Supertrunks made of coaxial cable with FM modulated video signals, [60] [56] fiber optics or microwave links were used to connect headends to hubs. [61] [62] [63] [58] Fiber optics were first used as a supertrunk in 1976. [64] FM video could be also carried in fiber optics, [65] and fiber optics eventually replaced coaxial cables in ...
Prodigy was deployed over cable modem to 200 users in time for the 1994 Western Cable Show. To grow the system from 16 users in three fiber nodes, to 200 required adding what became 64,000 homes passed, making the Cox San Diego–Prodigy cable modem field trial the world's largest cable modem deployment (by service area) at the time.
