Cable operators wanting to offer bi-directional, triple-play services to smaller or medium-sized business and high-end residential users often find it difficult to extend their existing infrastructure cost-effectively and quickly while achieving a targeted return on investment. The ARRIS FTTMax RF-Over-Glass (RFoG) solution easily, incrementally, and economically delivers advanced upstream and downstream DOCSIS voice, video, and data services over a fiber-based infrastructure that resides alongside their existing HFC networks—with minimal changes to headend and field equipment. Tested in accordance with SCTE RFoG standards, the feature-rich FTTMax RFoG solution delivers industry-leading performance and flexibility with full 1 GHz bandwidth capacity, multi-wavelength technology, field optical amplifiers for longer distances, and RFoG ONUs with optional PON pass-through port for running high speed data services. Operations are enhanced with optical AGC for plug-and-play transmissions, burst-mode return-path transmission to prevent unwanted RF signals from degrading upstream performance and low noise return receivers for optimal signal quality. FTTMax ONU is part of the ARRIS RFoG solution that utilizes the existing HFC infrastructure and back office system to provide MSOs with the ability to extend their fiber infrastructure easily, incrementally, and economically. The FTTMax RFoG ONU provides features such as an optional built-in upgrade port for the addition of PON–based services (selected models only), 1 GHz bandwidth, optical AGC for plug-and play downstream operation and user-friendly LED indicators. Burst-mode transmission technology is utilized in the upstream to prevent unwanted RF signals from detrimentally affecting upstream performance. The FTTMax RFoG supports a number of options, including 42/54 MHz and 65/85 MHz frequency splits, and return transmission wavelengths (1611 nm and 1310 nm).
