Huawei claims first 10 Gbps hybrid fibre coaxial platform

Chinese networking giant Huawei has launched new hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) access platform, claiming it’s the first to top 10 Gbps throughput.

The platform supports 10G DOCSIS3.1 in cable and 10G PON in fibre. Huawei says t offers multiple-system operators (MSOs) the ability to keep pace with the rise of Gigaband access and the future industry evolution to IP videos, at a time when the trend towards multiplay is accelerating and differentiation is harder than ever to achieve.
