DOCSIS 3.1/ESD vCMTS

Performance

The DOCSIS 3.1/ESD vCMTS from Falcon V Systems supports channel bonding and complex modulation schemes to sustain multi-gigabit throughput and maximize the competitiveness of existing cable plants.

Existing infrastructure supporting legacy DOCSIS 2.0/3.0 cable modems can be easily augmented by adjusting OFDM/OFDMA channel reservations.

Scalability and Flexibility

The containerized microservice architecture leverages Kubernetes for rapid performance scaling and lifecycle management, and supports industry standard virtualization platforms. Furthermore, deployments are not constrained to specific server hardware platforms, and supports both 64bit ARM and x86 processors, enabling MSOs to reduce cost, power consumption, lead time and consolidate their physical footprint.

The vCMTS can be run on standard Linux distributions, which supports the eXpress Data Path (XDP) for highly performant data plane operations, and which simplifies compute infrastructure management.

Falcon V Systems implements an agile development methodology with comprehensive testing and secure analysis that enables frequent software releases, rapid issue resolution and high feature velocity.

Fully Standards-Compliant

The DOCSIS 3.1/ESD vCMTS is fully compliant with CableLabs’ CCAP YANG model, which can be interfaced via a secure and performant RESTCONF API. It interoperates with Remote PHY devices from leading vendors through the GCP protocol and supports zero-touch provisioning of new RPDs that are introduced into the network.

Real-time telemetry is continuously streamed out to a graphical dashboard that provides enhanced data clarity and correlation, and rapid access to concise historical data. Furthermore, the DOCSIS 3.1/ESD vCMTS interoperates with MSO’s preferred OSS, monitoring and reporting platforms.
