Fiber deep and distributed access architecture (DAA)

Stay in control of the upcoming extreme makeover for gigabit networks. CATV and multiple-system operators (MSOs) are transforming their networks to support DOCSIS 3.1 and FTTH. Fiber deep is a key part of how next-gen cabling is being deployed—as it pushes fiber ever closer to subscribers for a better customer experience. Gear up for the transition to next-gen technologies.

Description

The current use of distributed access architecture (DAA) technologies, such as Metro Ethernet, and fiber deep with node plus zero architecture (Node+0) leading to Remote PHY (RPHY) is changing the face of traditional deployments. Access networks will require more fibers, more wavelengths and Ethernet transport to deliver high-speed connectivity. This transformation also requires a major upgrade of the core/backbone networks to support 100G+ including a new layout and new technologies in the head-ends.
