Overview

With the DOCSIS 3.0 CMTS systems from Casa, Kathrein offers a new generation of CMTS units which set completely new levels of performance respective flexibility, opera- tional features, packing density and econo- my.

A fundamental feature is thereby the full separation of the downstream and upstream channel modules in one physical chassis, allowing a flexible and ongoing system match-up to actual requirements based on a non-legacy and specifically designed chip technology.

This enables achievement of extremely high packing densities. One C3200 platform can, for example handle up to 80 downstream and 16 upstream channels or 48 downstream and 48 upstream channels in one single 19" module with only 3 rack units height.

The outstanding technology and highly inte- grated design also ensure a high operational economy. Low cost per channel and simple system extension with software upgrades offer high investment security and enable a comfortable step-by-step system build-up.
