Multi-Service Cable Networks

Overview With recent advances in technology and prevailing market conditions, cable operators, or Multi-Service Operators, are in a unique position to increase their revenues significantly by making only relatively modest investments in their networks.

This white paper discusses how cable operators can capitalize on these opportunities by offering a range of data and telecommunications services delivered over an integrated network based on their existing two-way Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) infrastructure, plus optical Ethernet, IP, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), and other emerging technologies. It presents an overview of the solution for each type of service, together with a discussion of the technologies required and a summary of Riverstone’s value-added capabilities that are specifically applicable to that service.
