System Overview

This section introduces key concepts relevant to installing the Motorola Whole Home IP Video Network CPE. It describes:

The passive optical network (PON) connecting the customer premises to the headend

The Motorola Whole Home IP Video Network that you install at the customer premises

Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA) technology

Multi-room DVR

The Motorola Whole Home IP Video Network connects to the fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) passive optical network (PON). It uses MoCA technology to provide an integrated Ethernet, IP, and coaxial radio frequency (RF) network. This network enables the delivery of services such as interactive video, high-speed data, and IP telephony to residential and small-business customers using existing RF coaxial cabling.

PON Overview

A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber optic network capable of carrying a high volume of traffic over a single fiber. The same fiber carries data:

Downstream from the optical line terminator (OLT) at the headend to the optical network terminator (ONT) at the customer premises

Upstream from the ONT back to the headend (also referred to as the return path)
