Hitron brings mobile backhaul over DOCSIS into focus
Hitron Technologies has introduced what is billed as the first DOCSIS 3.1 modem to support the DOCSIS Time Protocol, a technique that enables cable operators to provide mobile backhaul for 4G and 5G services over their widely deployed hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) networks.
