Broadband OSS provider Core Networks has released CoreMeter, which allows cable MSOs to monitor and evaluate the performance of the “last mile” of their hybrid fiber/coaxial networks.
Information gathered with CoreMeter allows network personnel to isolate, predict and respond to network noise, attenuation and capacity impairments that cause service interruptions on the HFC network.
Data collected at regular intervals from the Management Information Base (MIB) of DOCSIS cable modems and cable modem termination systems is used by CoreMeter to provide MSOs with real-time and historical analysis for “end-of-line” visibility, including characterization of the HFC network and its capacity to deliver advanced services on the RF spectrum.
The new software will be demonstrated for the first time at the Western Show in Anaheim, Calif. Dec. 3–5.
