Virgin and Cisco Broadband Tests

Ongoing tests with the Cisco 3G60 engine supported broadband processing connections at speeds a well up to a 1.5 Gbps are underway. The company Cisco has announced it today that it is in collaboration with the Virgin Media group to enhance further the network of the company by the use of deploying DOCSIS’s network infrastructure which already exists. In a test-run which occurred in East London, the company Virgin Media succeeded in achieving a ground-breaking broadband speed to well up to 1.6 GB by the use of the 3g60 Broadband Processing Engine by Cisco, which is a cost-effective and high-density line card which is used for the company Cisco’s premier uBR10k UBR (Universal Broadband Router) and CMTS (Cable Model Termination System).

The high-lights include the fact that a significant component of the complete DOCSIS (R) 3.0 by Cisco solution, the very scalable line-card (3g60) ables the operators of cable television so that they can offer video services of IP. The Cisco UBR (Universal Broadband Router) along with the line-card 3g60 support the complete set of the DOCSIS 3.0 with all its features on scale, which include the IPv6, along with support for more advanced features like sharing of dynamic bandwidth. Also with using the line-card 3g60, one Cisco UBR is able to support as much as 676 channels which are downstream and 480 channels which are upstream per chassis. This is of course the most density and capacity for CMTS in the entire industry.

The VP and the general manager of the Cable Access Business Unit (CABU) of Cisco said that Cisco’s solutions provided by its CMTS by design support large-scale video services and IP broadband services today, along with the impending switch to IP network which is set to occur in the not-so-distant future. He said that Cisco was proud in its helping of Virgin Media to achieve such groundbreaking milestones with the company’s broadband connecting speeds and network capacity.
