As cable multiple system operators (MSOs) chart their technological roadmap, the concept of “fiber deep” has emerged as a crucial strategy. Fiber deep architecture involves relocating network electronics from the headend to the network edge, closer to customers. This approach empowers cable MSOs to deliver gigabit-capable broadband services more effectively, meeting the growing demand for high-speed internet connectivity and staying competitive against fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) offerings from telecom providers.

Implementing a fiber deep strategy offers numerous advantages for cable MSOs. It alleviates congestion at the headend, freeing up valuable space, power and cooling resources. What’s more, by bringing network equipment closer to customers, cable MSOs can embrace software-defined access architectures, enabling greater efficiency, flexibility and agility. This positions their networks for a future where software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) are key to meeting staying ahead of the competition.

Read on to explore the fiber deep approach in depth and understand how it can help cable MSOs thrive as we enter the Gigabit age. Discover the clear benefits of a fiber deep architecture, including the ability to optimize headend resources and pave the way for a software-defined future that empowers rapid deployment of revenue-generating applications while delighting broadband customers with unparalleled service quality.
