Casa Systems sets cable industry milestone with DOCSIS 4.0 extended spectrum

Casa Systems announced that Casa Systems’ Virtual CCAP, vCCAP, coupled with the company’s RPD200 solution, has secured a world’s first in performance that enables cable modems to achieve full utilization of the extended spectrum available via the DOCSIS 4.0 specification at the recent CableLabs and Kyrio InteropLabs DOCSIS 4.0 Technology event. This successful demonstration showcased the interoperability of Casa Systems’ vCCAP and RPD solution with third-party DOCSIS 4.0 cable modems achieving remarkable extended spectrum utilization – up to 1.8 GHz downstream and 396 MHz upstream. This breakthrough not only marks a significant stride in technological innovation but also provides operators with unparalleled flexibility to deploy multi-gigabit broadband services, paving the way for the 10G era. “Through our continuing commitment to innovation in the cable industry sustained over the past 20-plus years, Casa has been helping cable operators move their industry forward,” said Casa Systems CEO Michael Glickman. “The unprecedented performance of our market-leading access technologies, including our vCCAP, vBNG and mobile packet cores, will fundamentally shift the competitive landscape across the telecom industry, allowing providers to deliver multi-gigabit services as well as set a sustainable foundation for network evolution as we shift to a virtualized future.”
