New Products: Cisco INA2320 and Cisco DVB CAR100 Series

Product Overview

Cisco DVB/DAVIC System

For cable operators implementing a DVB/DAVIC (Digital Video Broadcast/Digital Audio Visual Council) strategy, Cisco provides a single system comprising cable modem and a headend for support of both cable modems set-top boxes. A key benefit of this approach for cable operators is cost-effectiveness.

Cisco enables a multiservice platform to be built for TV, data communication and eventually telephony without duplicating equipment for each service and without having to duplicate technicians, engineering resources, training or measuring equipment. No other DVB/DAVIC equipment vendor is as advanced in its product development or as familiar with the technology as Cisco.

The complete Cisco DVB/DAVIC system consists of:

These components, together with the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Router, can form a single system or function as individual components interoperating with other DVB/DAVIC standards-based equipment. A key benefit for cable operators is cost-effectiveness.

Figure 17-1: Overview of the DVB System

Cisco INA2320 Interactive Network Adapter

The Cisco INA2320 Interactive Network Adapter is a headend unit controlling bi-directional broadband data communication over the HFC network.

The Cisco INA2320 is a modular system built into a standard 19 in. chassis with a compact PCI backplane. The Cisco INA2320`s modularity and scalability allow it to be configured according to a cable operators` specific needs.

Key Features and Benefits

Cisco INA2320

Table 17-3: Summary of Features and Benefits for Cisco INA2320

Feature

Benefit

IB and OoB support

Unique selling point: the same downstream module can be configured for either operation

Standard Compliance

IB: DVBv2 & Euromodem

OoB: DAVIC 1.2 & OpenCable DVS167

Open standards guarantee an open market and drive prices down

1 downstream and 8 upstream channels

Highly integrated architecture provide cost effective solution

QoS: up to 32 profiles, one profile/modem

Cisco`s QoS engine guarantees bandwidth usage control and allow the MSO to differentiate its offering thus maximizing revenues

Access Network Routing

Unlike competitors` solutions this will minimize the traffic between the INA and the access router


Flexible Configuration

The Cisco INA2320 allows two configurations including:

The smaller configuration can be expanded from 4 upstreams to 8 upstreams.

Cisco DVB CAR100 Series

A cable modem is a device that allows high-speed data access (for example, to the Internet) via a cable television network.

The Cisco DVB CAR100 is a cable access router (static) or "cable modem" between the hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network and the Ethernet with one or a number of PCs connected. It enables bi-directional data communication at high bit rates. The Cisco DVB CAR100 is connected to the INA2320 interactive network adapter over the HFC network or to any other DVB/DAVIC compliant headend that has been interoperability tested. The Cisco DVB CAR100 provides an ideal solution for bringing broadband access to residential users and small business environments. It is based on the EuroModem specification.

Table 17-4: Main benefits of the Cisco DVB CAR100 Series

Feature

Benefit

DVB/DAVIC compliant, EuroModem (Class A)

Meets the requirements of cable operators who have decided to go for a DVB/DAVIC EuroModem

IP Routing

Less traffic on the HFC network and also reduces traffic on the LAN.

Supports PAT (network address translation at port level)

End-user: security in the form of a simple firewall. Fewer global IP addresses as these are not required on local PC.

Direct IP

Meets requirements as of 1 Jan 2000 according to the DVB/DAVIC standard. Direct IP gives better performance than Ethernet MAC framing.

Upstream frequency range: 5-65 MHz

The high frequency range is useful, as it is less noisy than the low frequency range.

8 MHz bandwidth

Supports the most widely deployed bandwidth in European broadcasting networks.


Cisco DVB CAR100 Series typical standard configurations

The Cisco DVB CAR100 Series can be ordered for a single PC as CAR100-PC or for multiple PCs on a LAN as CAR100-LAN.
