ATX Networks GigaPass, 4.0 Diamonds

The ATX GigaPass is a QAM-to-IP media gateway designed to pass encrypted video from existing edge QAM equipment through IP-based CCAP video cores or directly to the CIN. The gateway features a modular design and density that delivers up to 320 processed QAMs in a single RU. It enables MSOs to address the video encryption licensing and interoperability issues that threaten to delay their transition to a DAA model, as well as providing smaller MSOs with an alternative to implementing costly and complex CCAP video cores.

Judge's Comment: "Excellent product enabling operators to transition from CCA and CCAP architectures to DAA and IPTV while not having to replace legacy CCAP set-top boxes."
