ORLANDO, Fla., March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CableLabs
Conference --
News Highlights:
- Extends Broadcom's field-proven downstream Full Band Capture
remote diagnostic tools to upstream analysis
- Provides operators the ability to remotely detect and locate
upstream ingress/burst noise sources
- Complements Broadcom's portfolio of spectrum analysis
technology to reduce cable operators' total cost of ownership for
customer premises equipment (CPE)
Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader
in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications,
today announced the world's first upstream diagnostic analyzer
technology. The new offering will help cable multi-system operators
(MSOs) remotely detect and locate upstream noise sources in real
time, enabling proactive diagnosis and resolution of subscriber's
network connectivity issues without costly service calls or truck
rolls. This upstream diagnostic analyzer technology is supported in
Broadcom's portfolio of DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1 products. Visit
www.broadcom.com to learn more.
"Over the lifespan of a CPE product, the operational expenses
associated with servicing and troubleshooting can easily dwarf the
initial capital expense," said Jay
Kirchoff, Vice President of Marketing, Broadcom. "For the
first time ever, operators will be able to remotely detect and
locate ingress noise sources in the return-path spectrum without
the cost of deploying technicians into the field and without
disturbing a customer's service."
Broadcom's new upstream diagnostic analyzer technology is part
of Broadcom's portfolio to provide cable MSOs with effective,
cost-efficient products that reduce overall operational expenses.
In addition to Broadcom's field-proven downstream Full Band Capture
(FBC) diagnostic technology for broadband and video traffic
monitoring, the new upstream diagnostic analyzer complements
Broadcom's Wi-Fi Insight for pinpointing and solving consumer
connectivity problems, IEEE1905 for visibility and management into
subscriber's home networks and Broadcom's FastRinstall process.
"Comcast is committed to finding ways to continuously improve
our service to customers," said Patrick
O'Hare, Comcast Senior Vice President of Field Operations.
"We already utilize Broadcom's Full Band Capture remote diagnostic
technology for diagnosing video and broadband traffic issues for
our subscribers. With this new upstream diagnostic analyzer
technology, we can further extend our customer service capabilities
and make another huge stride in reducing the total cost of
ownership of CPE."
Key Features of the Upstream Diagnostic Analyzer
- Locates ingress/burst noise to a single CPE
- Utilize multiple CPEs to isolate exact location of the noise
source
- Information and spectrum analysis is available via existing
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or web user
interface
- Real-time diagnostic information without impact to customer
experience
Availability
Broadcom's upstream diagnostic analyzer is available on
Broadcom's portfolio of currently shipping cable gateway silicon
products.
