Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) and Distributed Access Architecture (DAA)
Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS) are used by cable operators to offer IP-based voice and High Speed Data services. A Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP), which has integrated DOCSIS MAC and PHY elements, allows cable operators to lower operating costs by using a single platform for offering traditional video and IP-based broadband services to the consumer. However, unlike a traditional CCAP platform, a disaggregated CCAP platform enables greater operational and service benefits by migrating to digital optics in the HFC network and placing the DOCSIS MAC and PHY elements closer to the network edge. This disaggregated approach is commonly referred to as Distributed Access Architecture or DAA. Broadcom’s CCAP Core and DAA solutions support both Remote MAC-PHY (RMD) and Remote PHY (RPD) DAA options.
Broadcom’s highly integrated CMTS/CCAP DOCSIS 3.1 chips enable dense CMTS/CCAP products for hub or head-end deployment, while the RMD/RPD devices facilitate a distributed architecture moving cable technology closer to the user. Both solutions allow the development of space efficient, minimal power equipment.
