Scientific-Atlanta
has announced that its newest HMS-compliant transponder
will allow its optical nodes and amplifiers to be deployed
within any hybrid-fiber coax network managed by a HMS-compliant
management and control (M&C) system.
A
key enabler in the evolution of HFC networks will be the
interoperability of equipment and management systems produced
by a variety of vendors.
In
addition to support for operation with HMS-compliant control
systems, the new transponder will also be compatible with
many existing M&C systems including Scientific-Atlanta’s
Transmission Network Control System (TNCS) and the ROSA
system produced by BarcoNet, a Scientific-Atlanta company.
By supporting interoperability with both current and future
management and control systems, the new transponder enables
operators to continue to integrate Scientific-Atlanta products
into existing or new HFC networks.
Scientific-Atlanta
anticipates using the new HMS-compliant transponders in
its GainMaker amplifiers, Compact amplifier, 6940/6944 Prisma
optical nodes, Compact optical node and SMOA strand-mounted
optical amplifier.
