Cable Operators
Cable operators are in a heated race to fully capture their subscriber accounts. By broadly meeting all television, Internet, and voice service needs in a multiplay, they can expand revenue streams, while blocking future moves by competitors.
Their challenge is to bundle existing cable infrastructure with new IP-based network solutions to form an integrated multiservice architecture. Conversion to a single IP-based infrastructure must preserve traditional network attributes of scale, security, performance, and reliability, while delivering intelligence and adeptness for the multiplay.
Juniper Networks cable network solutions assist cable operators in scaling their networks and supporting voice services today, while preparing for the Next-Generation Network Architecture (NGNA) for multiplay delivery. With experience enabling some of the world's largest, most sophisticated IP infrastructures, Juniper Networks is the logical choice for cable operators seeking right solution for their expanding IP networks.
Overview
Broadcast TV Distribution
Distribution of broadcast content requires performance, high-quality service, resilience, replication, and interoperability. With the development of point-to-multipoint LSPs and related multiplay technologies, Juniper Networks has taken a leading role in providing the tools to support the transport of all types of video — from selected content such as video on demand (VoD) to interactive multimedia and broadcast television — across an IP/MPLS backbone.
Packet Cable Multimedia
Providing premium services requires a services delivery architecture that extends beyond standard Internet access and best-effort routing. With Juniper Networks SDX-300 Service Deployment System with PacketCable Multimedia (PCMM), cable operators can seamlessly link RF and IP edge and core quality of services (QoS).
IPv6 Migration
IP is here to stay, and the systems and services converging on IP are straining the available IPv4 addresses — situation that was unforeseen just a few years ago. MSOs understand that IPv6 is essential to both the continued growth of existing services and the rollout of new services. They also know that they must begin now to plan for the introduction of IPv6 into their networks.
Metro Wi-Fi
Our centrally managed metropolitan Wi-Fi access solution enables MSOs to deploy hotspots at small to medium-sized enterprise retail locations. These are the most likely locations where prized residential customers can transparently continue using MSO-provided premium services. With the Juniper Networks Metro Wi-Fi solution, MSOs can retain and up-sell residential customers via retail-based access using integrated back-end routing and service deployment and management capabilities
Juniper Metro Wi-Fi solution provides:
- Capacity to scale to mass deployment of thousands of Wi-Fi hotspots
- Ability to enforce QoS policies on a per-flow and per-subscriber basis
- Central management of policies and subscribers
- Open interfaces and APIs allowing customization and tie-in with legacy MSO systems such as authentication, billing, security, and Web portal farms
