ARRIS to Demo 4.5 Gbps Downstream, 575 Mbps Up

At the Cable Show, ARRIS plans to demonstrate file transfer throughput of 4.5 Gbps of DOCSIS downstream traffic over 128 DOCSIS downstream channels into a single fiber node, as well as 575 Mbps upstream. In the downstream demo, an ARRIS C4 CMTS will be configured using four newly released 32 Downstream Cable Access Modules (32D CAMs) to source the 128 DOCSIS downstream channels into the node.The demo will also show a proof-of-concept implementation of a 5-200 MHz high-split DOCSIS upstream system with 575 Mbps of DOCSIS upstream bandwidth being transmitted over 24 DOCSIS upstream channels out of a single fiber node. The upstream demo will use a single ARRIS 24U CAM to receive the high-split 5-200 MHz upstream spectrum from a node.
