Generic Access Platform News Today

Charter, Rogers and CableLabs are studying how to deliver 5G signals on HFC networks via a project called Next-Gen Radio over Coax, or 'NRoC.' It could boost network capacity and drive cable's fixed/mobile convergence strategies.

As part of a court-supervised Chapter 11 sale process, Casa Systems has entered deals to sell its cable business to Vecima Networks under a stalking-horse bid of $20 million, and its 5G mobile core and RAN assets to Lumine Group.

Dan Whalen discusses the origins and goals of a new field tech training and deployment program and how cable network upgrade activity is heating up.

Charter, a champion of the Generic Access Platform initiative, showed off a standards-based node capable of supporting DOCSIS, PON and even wireless service modules. Deployments could get underway in 2023.

At the CableLabs 10G Showcase, Charter and Comcast showed progress in the form of DOCSIS 4.0 demos powered by a blend of commercially-ready products and prototype technologies.

New tech standard will define communications protocols for standalone amplifiers and amps built into nodes for DOCSIS networks, including future DOCSIS 4.0 networks.

The supplier said the Entra EN9000, a node based on SCTE standards for the Generic Access Platform (GAP), will be available for lab tests in the first half of 2022. Expect Charter to be among the first in line.

Vecima Networks has acquired the intellectual property (IPR) that ATX Networks has developed for a Generic Access Platform (GAP) node enclosure that can support an array of standardized service modules that will snap in like Lego bricks. The general driver here is to accelerate the market for a GAP node based on standards being developed by an SCTE/ISBE working group involving a mix of vendors and suppliers. The GAP node, a project largely being championed by Charter Communications, is focused...
