Motorola Expands HFC Product Portfolio

Motorola introduced four new products for Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) networks. These include the Motorola OmniStar GX2 Mini-Chassis, the Motorola MPN Modular Pedestal Node, and two bi-directional amplifiers. The first of these products is an optical broadband transmission platform suited to remote locations or low-density applications, such as a long transport link that requires a single mid-span optical amplifier. The two-rack unit mini-chassis utilizes the same application modules as the high-density, four rack-unit Motorola OmniStar GX2 chassis. The Motorola MPN is a scalable optical node for pedestal applications that utilizes leading technology developed in Motorola's SG4000 Modular Optical Node.


The two bi-directional amplifiers can be used for improving signal quality throughout a home. http://www.motorola.com/broadband
