CommScope announced the continuing advancement of its Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) platform with the introduction of its RD1322 2x2 Remote PHY Device (RPD).

Set to begin service provider testing later this year, the new module installs directly into CommScope’s base of NC4- and OM4-series fiber nodes, extending the benefits of the DAA platform to both traditional segmented and fiber-deep architectures.  

CommScope contends it is "in a strong position to help operators get to market faster and more affordably by leveraging their existing infrastructure investments on the path to 10G." 

The RD1322 is the latest addition to the company's offering of Outside Plant (OSP) DAA solutions that enable operators to build upon their installed base of nodes to advance their plans for network services including Extended Spectrum DOCSIS (ESD), Full Duplex DOCSIS (FDX), DAA, Remote PON, Wireless Backhaul, DOCSIS 3.1, and other protocols.

Billed as especially valuable in the labor-intensive OSP domain, CommScope’s 10G product roadmap comprises its growing portfolio of traditional and DAA OSP solutions, along with the company's continuing commitment to innovative wired and wireless Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) and Inside Plant (ISP) solutions. The company offers operators multiple migration paths to 10G Service Level Agreements (SLAs), giving them the freedom to customize their evolution based on their unique needs.  

CommScope’s full DAA portfolio includes its RPD, Remote PON, R-PHY Shelf, Video Unified Edge (VUE), ICX Switch family, and hybrid E6000 I-CCAP/CCAP Core products. It also features a full suite of virtualized products, including the E6000 Virtual Core (vCore) and vManager framework of tools, including industry-leading monitoring, management, and traffic engineering functions.  

“As global operators continue to invest in tomorrow’s 10G networks, the outside plant will represent a primary budget focus,” said Kevin Keefe, senior vice president and segment leader, Network & Cloud, CommScope. “Our RD1322 2x2 RPD is the answer for operators looking to maximize their existing infrastructure to deliver tomorrow’s networks and services as quickly as possible. We have an unmatched portfolio and breadth of experience in helping global operators deliver next-generation networks reliably and at scale. As they evolve their networks, we’ll continue to deliver the innovation to facilitate their progress.” 

“CommScope has one of the largest footprints of optical nodes among major cable operators worldwide,” asserts Jeff Heynen, research director, Broadband Access and Home Networking, Dell’Oro Group. “As cable operators continue to distribute their access networks and increase both upstream and downstream bandwidth, the RD1322 2x2 RPD is an option, as operators choose from a variety of DAAs and pathways as they bridge to tomorrow’s networks.” 

CommScope will demonstrate its new RD1322 2x2 RPD at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo (Sept 30th – Oct 3rd) in New Orleans, LA—Booth #961.
