The Scientific Atlanta Prisma II Video Platform enables operators to use their Fiber to the Home (FTTH) network to take advantage of a viable, cost-effective IPTV video delivery solution. By allowing network operators to use existing technologies to drive multiple video streams along fiber, the platform decreases time-to-market, while maximizing opportunities for new revenue streams from video services. Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Level 3-certified optics provide smooth integration into FTTH networks.
New products in the Prisma II series offer:
Baseband digital reverse optics in a new small form factor
Extended high-performance, future-friendly heritage of Scientific Atlanta's Prisma II analog optics platform
Maintenance of backward compatibility with legacy Prisma II products
Support up to two reverse buses with plans calling for implementation of coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)
Versatile, cost-effective video delivery
The new Prisma II extra dense (XD) chassis accommodates up to 16 optical modules in a 3RU chassis that increases density by more than 30 percent over the existing Prisma II chassis. Prisma II multi-wavelength forward optics offer both improved performance and increased capacity for cable operators through enhanced fiber use in forward path transmissions, especially at longer distances.
