Motorola unveils new decoupled upstream module for I-CMTS

Claims to offer 1.5Gbps of upstream capacity per module

Motorola has unveiled RX48 decoupled upstream module for its BSR 64000 Integrated Cable Modem Termination System (I-CMTS), designed to help cable operators meet their subscribers requirements for higher average and peak upstream bandwidth

The company said that BSR 64000 I-CMTS with the new RX48 decoupled upstream module offers nearly 1.5Gbps of upstream capacity per module.

The company claims that the combination of RX48 decoupled upstream module and TX32 decoupled downstream module, along with integrated design of BSR 64000, will enable cable operators to achieve up to 60% capital savings over traditional upstream and downstream modules.

According to Motorala, by deploying the RX48 decoupled upstream module in conjunction with S-CDMA, cable operators can use this new capacity to increase average data rates through higher order modulation, or implement DOCSIS 3.0 upstream channel bonding to achieve up to 150Mbps of peak upstream bandwidth.

Joe Cozzolino, senior vice president and general manager of access networks solutions at Motorola Home and Networks Mobility, said: With the RX48, cable operators can rapidly grow their upstream service offering and provide a long-term platform to support evolving IP video services. In addition to the targeting of new commercial services, Motorola helps cable operators harness the full potential of the upstream spectrum and enables greater speeds and capacity to existing DOCSIS 1.x and 2.0 environments and offering even richer media experiences to tomorrow's DOCSIS 3.0 connected subscribers.
