Introduction

Motorola’s SG 2000 telecommunications optical node performs light wave-to-RF and RF-to-light wave signal conversions in an optical transmission link. This product is designed to support a wide variety of advanced hybrid-fiber/coaxial network topologies.

As broadband communication systems continue to evolve, the demand increases for optical links that carry the signal further into the transport system. These systems require additional features and functionality such as digital compression and alternate access at significantly lower costs. Fully configured, the SG 2000 supports these next-generation telecommunication networks. It also supports a variety of single and two-way broadband network applications such as broadcast video, interactive video, telephony, and data.
