Whitepaper: Reclaim bandwidth with ABR delivery to the edge
Cable operators need spectrum for DOCSIS 4.0 and faster broadband, but still have business customers such as hotels and bars that rely on video. WISI's whitepaper shows how ABR (adaptive bit rate) reception at the edge solves both.
ABR receivers take the operator's IP streams and deliver them locally as QAM, IP or analog, so the existing in-building infrastructure keeps working without costly upgrades, while the operator reclaims bandwidth in the network. The paper covers deployment options, technical considerations and results from tier-1 operators.
One example is Nortex Communications, which chose WISI's ABR receiver for its flexibility, reliable hardware and support, and could continue serving hospitality customers instead of leaving that market.
- Reclaim spectrum for DOCSIS 4.0 and broadband
- QAM, IP and analog output from ABR sources
- Re-use existing in-building infrastructure
