BigBand Networks is the key partner for global cable operators leveraging DOCSIS and IP technologies for the most complete range of commercial and residential services. The company's platform, software and solution offerings are relied upon for tens of thousands of deployed DOCSIS channels serving millions of subscribers. These products integrate broad capabilities for differentiated video, voice and data services and provide a leadership path to seamlessly implement the industry's next generation architecture initiatives.

The Cuda® CMTS (cable modem termination system) is the platform foundation for BigBand Networks' cable IP offerings. Its highlights include comprehensive DOCSIS® protocol support, chassis reliability based on the distributed MeshFlow™ switching fabric with redundant port availability, and high performance RF paired with robust ability to overcome plant impairments. The FastFlow® broadband provisioning manager enables controlled IP services from the CMTS to multiple subscriber devices including cable modems, MTAs (multimedia terminal adapters), and IP and DSG (DOCSIS Set-top Gateway) set-top boxes.

Cuda and FastFlow are at the forefront of emerging industry trends such as tiered high speed data, T1 over DOCSIS for competitive commercial services, and usage-based billing for expanding revenue-generating offerings. Integration with video infrastructure such as the BigBand BMR® (Broadband Multimedia-Services Router) enables delivery of any video content according to emerging IP standards such as PacketCable™ Multimedia and DSG. BigBand Networks initiatives, such as modular CMTS in which DOCSIS processing is decoupled from economical modulation and RF that can be openly extended to all digital content, illustrates how the company leverages its leadership across multiple media and technologies to redefine cable IP possibilities.

BigBand Networks' solutions for cable IP services leverage the protocol's cost effectiveness, efficiency and manageability to provide services of all media to an expanding variety of subscriber devices according to the full range of DOCSIS protocols. Click on the image for more details.
