Centennial, CO – September 13, 2022 – Hitron Technologies will be demonstrating its high-split DOCSIS 3.1 solutions at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2022. High-split support increases the upstream capacity on DOCSIS 3.1 networks, enabling cable operators to deliver faster speeds and meet consumer demand for increased upstream bandwidth.

With a high-split configuration, Hitron DOCSIS 3.1 gateways, EMTA’s and modems are able to sustain bidirectional traffic of over 2 Gbps downstream and over 1 Gbps upstream. High-split architectures are used to increase upstream bandwidth in today’s DOCSIS 3.1 networks, as well as future DOCSIS 4.0 networks. While many North American networks have an upstream spectrum range of 5 MHz to 42 MHz or 85 MHz, high-split increases the range to 204 MHz. With this increase in usable spectrum, cable operators can deliver Gigabit upstream speeds over their HFC networks.

Hitron products feature a software switchable return path that enables operators to remotely change between 5-85 MHz and 5-204 MHz at any time. As a result, they can seamlessly upgrade customers to more lucrative higher tier upstream speeds without changing hardware or sending out a technician.

“Over the past years, the increased use of video conferencing for working and learning from home has really sparked demand for upstream capacity. We’ve seen strong interest from across the cable industry in high-split architectures as a way to cost-effectively boost upstream bandwidth today without having to make the jump to fiber,” said Greg Fisher, President and Chief Technology Officer at Hitron Americas.

Hitron’s high-split solutions include the following DOCSIS 3.1 gateways, EMTA’s and modems: CODA-5712, CODA-5719, CODA-5810, CODA5814Q, CODA-57, and EN2251-HSP. The company will be showcasing its high-split solutions at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2022 (Booth # 4037) in Philadelphia, PA from September 19-22.
