Today, MSOs are challenged to reliably and efficiently manage their increasingly complex, ad hoc video infrastructures. Growing subscriber penetration, greater content variety, and rising concurrence rates of video services are straining infrastructure capacity and putting quality and reliability at risk. The D5 Universal Edge QAM (UEQ) is a unique IP edge network device that delivers a wide variety of multimedia content in a reliable, high-performance, cost-effective package. The modular, unified architecture of the D5 UEQ enables operators to add capacity incrementally and to alter their video service mix to keep pace with the needs of the network and the subscribers.With the D5 UEQ, operators avoid the capital and operational expense of replacing or retrofitting non-compliant Edge QAMs when responding to growing residential and business demand for advanced services. The D5 UEQ processes as many as 2048 MPEG-2 transport streams simultaneously – ingesting VOD, SDV, linear digital broadcast, and DOCSIS 3.0 M-CMTS downstream data – and multiplexes the streams flexibly across any available channel. Management and delivery of video services is dramatically simplified. And operators have a unified view of their services through the D5 Web Manager, which provides a browser interface for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting video services and reporting provisioning and hardware status.Space- and energy-conserving engineering means the D5 UEQ draws the lowest watts per channel of any competing QAM and delivers reliable services cost effectively in headends of all sizes. No other QAM matches the high-availability, energy-efficient engineering, or ease of use of the D5. Redundancy in power supplies, cooling, signal and power distribution, networking, and RF units provide carrier-grade reliability, performance, and QoS gives D5 operators superb customer satisfaction ratings and revenue continuity.
