Headend transmitter technology includes the company's recently launched HT3541H full spectrum and HT3300H 1,310 nm transmitters, HLP4800 high-density transmission platform, SUPRALink SPL7210, and PWRLink II PWL4200 DFB transmitters. All are designed to be 1.2 GHz capable.
Aurora's NC4000 scalable optical node platform now supports operation to 1.2 GHz with a 250 MHz-ready upstream, as does the AN2 ultra high output compact node.
Aurora's Universal Digital Return technology is designed for built-in upgrade capability for both the transmitter and the receiver to support up to twice the return path bandwidth and single or dual return segments per wavelength. Cable operators can deploy a 5-42 MHz system initially and turn up to a 5-85 MHz return path when needed at no additional cost.
In other Aurora news, the company has introduced upgradeable digital return path receiver technology to complement its Universal Digital Return. The new Universal Digital Return receiver technology, including the DR3450N, features density of 48 return segments per 3RU. It's designed to support up to twice the return path bandwidth and single or dual return segments per wavelength.
