Press Release CASA SYSTEMS' C2200
WIDEBAND CMTS EARNS EURODOCSIS 2.0 QUALIFICATION:
The only qualified CMTS
platform on the market today that can be firmware
upgraded to
support all major DOCSIS 3.0 features.
Andover, MA (April 3, 2007)
-
Casa Systems, Inc., the company that continues to
revolutionize cable edge device cost performance, today
announced EuroDOCSIS 2.0 (A-TDMA) qualification for it C2200
CMTS (cable modem termination system), affirming its support of
EuroCableLabs performance and interoperability
standards.
Unlike
today’s legacy CMTS options, Casa’s C2200 offers complete
flexibility in downstream and upstream channel ratio, and
extremely high downstream channel capacity, by leveraging separate
downstream and upstream linecards. The C2200’s upgradeable
software currently enables downstream channel bonding of up to 16
channels.
“We’ve
cleared a very significant hurdle with EuroDOCSIS 2.0
qualification, validating a tremendous new market opportunity for
Casa and delivering another important market breakthrough enabled
by our dramatically different architecture and chip technology,”
said Jerry Guo, President and CEO of Casa Systems. “While we’re in
pursuit of DOCSIS 3.0 qualification, our EuroDOCSIS 2.0 solution
will enable customers to transition to DOCSIS 3.0 more easily and
affordably.”
Operators
can deploy the C2200 today as a DOCSIS 2.0 CMTS for significant
cost savings, or as a pre-DOCSIS 3.0 CMTS with advanced channel
bonding features that is future-proofed with a simple firmware
upgrade path to support new DOCSIS 3.0 features and DOCSIS 3.0
modems.”
A single
Casa C2200 CMTS chassis supports:
- Separate 16-channel downstream linecards and 8-channel
upstream linecards, providing single-chassis configurations up
to 32 downstream channels and 16 upstream channels; 48
downstream channels and 8 upstream channels; or 16 downstream
channels and 24 upstream channels
- Channel bonding up to 16 downstream channels and 8 upstream
channels
- RF channel sharing among DOCSIS and MPEG video traffic
