Automated Power Supply Management using DOCSIS HMS Transponders
As communication service providers begin to roll out complex IP-based voice, video and high-speed data services, ensuring the highest possible Quality of Service (QoS) is critical to their successful deployments. In an increasingly competitive marketplace, it’s all about maintaining a highly available network infrastructure. And in the case of broadband cable operators, this means meeting the challenges involved in maintaining a Hybrid Fiber Co-axial (HFC) network.
With the majority of their delivery challenges related directly to the health of the HFC plant, cable operators recognize that a key aspect of keeping the network running is to maintain services during power failures. PowerSense monitors and tests the health of DOCSIS HMS transponder power and environmental parameters, thereby enabling CSPs to maximize their service availability. PowerSense helps enhance this capability by providing remote monitoring capabilities via the DOCSIS HMS Transponder to proactively manage the outages, alarms and events that affect the HFC plant’s power supplies.
The result? Increased network reliability, service reliability, and greater customer satisfaction.
