uBR-MC88V Broadband Processing Engine with full DOCSIS 3.0 Support for the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Router
With the explosion of video traffic and social networking applications, speed and scalability are critical factors to keeping consumers happy. Cisco's Visual Networking Index (VNI) forecasts that by 2013, annual global IP traffic will reach two-thirds of a zettabyte (one trillion gigabytes), video traffic will exceed 90 percent of global consumer traffic, and global online video will comprise 60 percent of consumer Internet traffic (up from 32 percent in 2009).
As consumer demand for high-quality media on any device grows daily, cable operators are considering new intelligent solutions for their medianets (all-IP Next-Generation Networks optimized for rich media).
Cisco provides an end-to-end, DOCSIS® 3.0-capable solution enabling multiple services to multiple devices over the same infrastructure to both residential and commercial subscribers.
This solution will allow service providers to provide subscribers with the best possible quality of experience, while minimizing operating expenses and differentiating next-generation services from those of their competitors.
Cisco's DOCSIS 3.0 solution with the Cisco® uBR-MC88V Broadband Processing Engine (BPE) delivers faster speeds and higher density with a flexible and scalable architecture. The resulting benefits are faster time to market, lower total cost of ownership, and higher revenues than previously possible, thus helping operators prepare their networks for the exponential growth of IP traffic.
The Cisco uBR-MC88V, Figure 1, is a next-generation line card for the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Router. It supports an unprecedented array of capabilities that address the needs of cable operators, multiunit (MxU) businesses, and Internet service providers (ISPs) to cost-effectively deliver high-bandwidth, carrier-class IP-based data, voice, and video services to large number of subscribers. The line card meets full DOCSIS 3.0 Annex A and B requirements. With this next-generation line card, the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Router has become the most advanced and ideal platforms for entry or mid-level cable modem termination systems (CMTSs) today.
