Digital Return

M12-001 1

Much of the current growth in the cable industry is driven by the move to HDTV and by data-centric applications.

Services like high-speed data and IP video are consuming ever-increasing amounts of network resources. The demand

for higher modulation schemes from 64-QAM, to 256-QAM and eventually 1024-QAM combined with the need to

support EuroDOCSIS 3.0 channel bonding, requires that upstream performance improve or networks will underperform

and subscribers will churn.

Aurora Networks digital return is the most deployed digital technology worldwide; Its acceptance is a major reason

why digital technology will dominate from 2014 on.

Improved Performance & Setup

Aurora Networks digital return solves the performance challenges surrounding analog RF upstream

links. With digital return, performance does not degrade regardless of link length nor does it change

with uctuations in channel loading or temperature changes. Digital return also offers:

Up to 80 return segments per ber

Greatest dynamic range

Higher levels of ingress resistance, even for full return path loading

Very high return link budget that can support route redundancy

Increased reach up to 200km without regeneration

Supports channel bonding

Supports modulation levels up to 1024-QAM

Digital return systems are easier to install, maintain, and monitor.

Installation is plug-and-play, with all node return paths set up the same

given the constant gain from the node input to the return receiver output.

Additional benets include:

No need for return path generators and link setup and balancing

Simplied alternate routing design and setup

Integrated status monitoring that eliminates transponder cost

Reduced ongoing maintenance costs, resulting from set-it-and-forget-it platform
