AbstractCable Multi-system Operators (or MSOs) all over the world are deploying DOCSIS 3.0[1] and Euro-DOCSIS 3.0 technology and related architectures in order to serve the growing demand for higher speed Internet service and eventually evolve to an all IP network that also carries video services. There are a number of issues that are causing the solution to not be very clear cut: the economy, existing infrastructure, operational expenses and different approaches to DOCSIS 3.0 upgrades. There is also a deeper issue on how the MSOs intend to free up channels to be upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0, given that there isn’t usually excess bandwidth in their systems today.
This report aims to clarify this picture both for the MSOs and suppliers on a global basis. It also helps other carriers (Satellite, Telco) to better understand the competitive challenge they will be facing in 2010-2014. DOCSIS 3.0 products and architectures are examined with attention to the pros and cons for each of them. In some cases, an MSO uses a step-by-step migration strategy, while in other cases, it will be easier to quickly move to the final destination of being a converged IP network, the stated long-term goal of many of the major MSOs.
Tables and Charts are used to show regional and total Cable Broadband subscribers, DOCSIS 3.0 (and Euro-DOCSIS 3.0) subscribers, service types (by region and Operator) and service pricing, as shown here.
While the DOCSIS architecture has performed well for Operators in the past, it is still not seen as the ultimate goal. A new architecure has emerged as a candidate for the latest NGAA (Next Generation Access Architecture) called the CMAP (Converged Multiservice Access Platform) architecture, proposed primarily by Comcast, but having industry-wide support. CMAP’s technology goals are aimed at enabling lower costs, greater flexibility and incorporating a wide range of headend components. Will CMAP delay the roll-out of DOCSIS 3.0 and Euro-DOCSIS 3.0, or simply strengthen Cable's market position?
ARRIS, Cisco, Motorola, Alcatel-Lucent, Juniper Networks, Virgin Media, Kabel BW, LG Powercom, Harmonic, UPC Austria, SK Telecom, and others make up over 50 key companies described in this report.
