Microtune’s DOCSIS 3.0 Tuner: New 1-GHz tuner delivers impressive data speeds and wider bandwidth for an easy, reliable and cost-effective way to implement DOCSIS 3.0.
By Cliff Anderson, Cable Marketing Manager, Microtune®,Inc.
The DOCSIS 3.0 specifications enable cable modems to achieve unprecedented uplink and downlink data rates, and it comes not a moment too soon. The growing market threat of telecommunications service providers’ fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services is mounting a significant challenge to cable operators, and the race is on to achieve DOCSIS 3.0-network class speeds to stay in the competitive game and win the consumer.
The new DOCSIS 3.0 specification enables cable modems to provide data rates approaching 160 Mb/s downstream and 120 Mb/s upstream to compete with fiber. DOCSIS 2.0 data rates are limited to nominally 40 Mb/s downstream and 30 Mb/s upstream. Never before has time to market been so important to cable modem manufacturers and cable service providers.
