You will definitely agree that in the last couple of years, we have experienced an unprecedented increase in IP traffic and the year 2013 proved to be a milestone. In that year alone, over two-thirds of a zettabyte which is otherwise referred to 1 trillion gigabytes was exceeded. In that same year, over 90 of video traffic exceeded global consumer traffic. As the demand and need for high-quality video continue to experience an unprecedented increase, cable operators have sought for ways to better serve the need of their customers. This is simply why the UBR-MC88V broadband processing engine (BPE) was developed. It was specifically developed to offer these operators the best video quality at the same time ensuring that the cost of running it is reduced. It is capable of delivering faster speed as well as higher density with s scalable and flexible architecture.
Specifications
- It is a route processor broadband processing engine
- It is a hot-swappable BPE
- It has been designed with 20 downstream and upstream channels
- It has five physical ports as well as 20 US physical ports.
- It has a power consumption level of 90 Watts and an RF output range of 52 to 62 dBm
- This product has a minimum RAM of 1024 MB
- It has an operating condition of 5 to 40°C and an operating relative humidity of 10 to 90%
Benefits
Some of the many benefits of choosing this hardware product include but are definitely not limited to these;
- Advanced downstream performance; the UBR-MC88V next-generation BPE comes with an upconverter module which is based on the current broadband industry-leading DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer). This product has been designed with an RF interface specification at the same time having a frequency range of about 1 GHz. It also makes use of low power consumption, an upconverter, and an advanced spectrum management system to offer operators a more advanced and superior performance.
- This product has been designed to support a wide range of capabilities that will help these operators to address and deal with the need to provide customers with high-quality videos. It also seeks to help these operators, internet service providers to effectively deliver bandwidths and also quality video services to a larger number of people. In essence, it has been designed to offer a solution to all the problems that operators have had to face when it comes to offering customers quality videos.
- The high port and high-density feature of this hardware product reduce all per port costs at the same time providing an easy upgrade pattern.
- The dense connector feature, on the other hand, reduces the time of installation as well as the mean repair time.
- This BPE hardware product unlike some of the others has been designed to enhance troubleshooting capabilities.
Downsides
One of the major downsides of this product is its cost. When compared to others, it happens to be more expensive.
Recommendation
Although this has product has been said to be expensive when compared with the others, it is capable of offering the best possible solution when it comes to keeping up customer needs.
