This is the second in a two-part series. See Part I, which covered many of the basics of DOCSIS modulation. Many wonder how today’s HFC networks will support high order modulations such as 4096-QAM. There are two technologies in the DOCSIS 3.1 specification that will enable this without requiring changes to existing outside plant. The […]
What’s next for DOCSIS
Modulation options and impacts in hybrid fiber coaxial networks, Part 1 of 2. See Part 2. The latest iteration of DOCSIS, DOCSIS 3.1, will come with significant changes in modulation options that will have important effects on installed and future hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) networks. Here we’ll be focusing on modulation basics and a discussion […]
