cOS Core

CMTS Server

Running on a 1 RU server, cOS Core cable modem termination system (CMTS) software powers the cOS virtualized cable access solution.

cOS Core software serves as the heart of the solution, performing all CMTS functions, including common control, management and forwarding of IP traffic across the cable access network. The high-performance software is capable of processing tens of gigs of capacity per rack unit. All DOCSIS-related applications, such as DSG and PacketCable, are supported, as are IPv4 and IPv6 services.

The software runs on an Intel x86 server to provide the advantages associated with IT economics. With cOS, operators no longer need to purchase space-consuming and expensive hardware-based CMTS platforms, and can break away from the cycle of needing to upgrade hardware every three years to accommodate capacity growth requirements. Regular CableOS software upgrades accelerate the introduction of new features, including high-layer DOCSIS 3.1 capabilities, and capacity is gained simply by adding new 1 RU servers.

In addition to the Core software, the cOS portfolio includes a full range of Pebble RPD-based enclosures, including the Ripple-1 and Shell-1 Remote PHY nodes, the Reef and Wave-1 remote PHY shelves (RPS) and the Wave-1 NDF / R module, as well as the 55-1 software-based OOB Core, and the NSG Pro and ProStream X Video Engines. The solution introduces cable operators to unprecedented scalability, agility and cost savings.
