Cable IPTV

The growth of IPTV deployments worldwide has exposed consumers to a more flexible and personalized television experience. Cable operators need to keep pace with IP-based solutions and overcome the limitations of their legacy delivery platforms.

DOCSIS-based CMTS products are gradually becoming more capable of handling IP video. Direct-to-edge and CMTS bypass solutions are already offering a cost effective alternative for cable operators to launch IPTV services over their legacy plants.
