CommScope will deliver its RMD Node platform for Europe’s first DOCSIS 4.0 project, laying the groundwork for expansion of 10G HFC networks.

CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM) has been selected by Liberty Global to develop and deploy its Remote MACPHY Device (RMD) Node platform for DOCSIS 4.0 (D4.0), as a means to accelerating the broadband operators progress towards 10G capabilities.

CommScope says its RMD Node platform for D4.0 will simplify Liberty Global’s hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network transformation to deliver multi-gigabit services. The move will also provide subscribers with built-in access to emerging high-bandwidth, low-latency services, ultimately enabling Liberty Global to cost-effectively achieve 10G capabilities on its HFC network.
