Serving communications service providers, enterprises, and large venues worldwide, CommScope helps enable high-speed broadband, 5G, Wi-Fi, and smart building connectivity. With decades of innovation and a strong global presence, CommScope plays a critical role in expanding broadband access, supporting next-generation wireless networks, and delivering the infrastructure needed to meet growing demand for data, video, and connected services.
The rapid surge in high-speed data usage, paired with the demand for advanced digital TV services, is reshaping how networks must be designed and managed. At the current pace of growth, today’s HFC networks will reach their capacity limits within just a few years. To stay competitive and keep up with rising bandwidth needs, service providers must modernize their broadband infrastructure to deliver low latency, robust security, and greater capacity for the future.
With more than two decades of expertise, our solutions offer a clear, evolutionary path for network upgrades. They deliver higher service group density, improved energy efficiency, and full support for a range of architectures including fiber deep, Distributed Access Architecture (DAA), RF over Glass (RFoG), and Passive Optical Networks (PON). Backed by true end-to-end capabilities, we help providers meet today’s demands while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges.
The CommScope NH/VH4000 Series Virtual Hubs (VHub) are compact, outside plant platforms that extend headend functionality to remote locations, eliminating the need for costly new construction. Their modular design supports up to 12 application-specific modules, providing exceptional flexibility to deliver a mix of services—including traditional RF, RFoG, and 10G EPON—from a single, strand or pedestal-mounted unit. This allows operators to cost-effectively support future growth and new revenue streams in rural or new development areas with a future-proof solution for both residential and commercial requirements.
CommScope’s NC-Series and OM-Series represent the industry’s most widely deployed and flexible optical node platforms. They provide a robust foundation for traditional HFC networks while seamlessly supporting evolutionary paths to advanced architectures like Fiber Deep, DAA, RFoG, and PON. Supporting up to 1.2 GHz for DOCSIS 3.1 and enabling node segmentation for bandwidth expansion, these nodes offer a proven, scalable solution to increase subscriber bandwidth and protect infrastructure investments, ensuring a smooth migration to next-generation services.
CommScope’s MSR Multi-Service Router Series is a versatile, disaggregated hardware solution for the network edge, supporting roles from aggregation switching to a full vBNG Evo with advanced QoS for thousands of subscribers. Leveraging Open Compute Project (OCP) hardware and next-generation silicon, its key innovation is the separation of control and user planes. This allows service providers to deploy compact, powerful switches at the edge while managing services from a centralized location. The MSR Series delivers the flexibility to function as a BNG, L2/L3 aggregation switch, Carrier Ethernet edge router, or top-of-rack switch, providing a future-proof platform for evolving Internet services.
CommScope’s PON Evo portfolio offers a flexible range of Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) in compact, hardened form factors for versatile deployment. Built on an open, standards-based, and software-defined architecture, it eliminates vendor lock-in and supports both disaggregated and traditional models. This cloud-native solution enables seamless scaling of next-gen PON networks and simplifies the transition between distributed and centralized architectures. Furthermore, its seamless integration with CommScope’s PON vBNG and ServAssure solutions reduces operational complexity (OPEX) by providing a unified, proactively managed network environment.
CommScope’s 1001310 Optical Transceiver Module is an XFP transceiver designed for high-speed, 10G Ethernet bidirectional communication over a single fiber. It is engineered to support CommScope’s high-bandwidth EPON products, including the XE4202M Remote OLT (R-OLT). Complying with IEEE 802.3av and XFP MSA standards, it delivers flexible support for symmetric 10G, asymmetric 10G/1G, and legacy EPON data rates. Key features include a robust metal enclosure for durability and low EMI, an SC/UPC connector, a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 90°C), and low jitter for superior transmission performance, making it ideal for demanding network environments.
CommScope’s Optical Network Unit (ONU) portfolio offers reliable, feature-rich solutions for both residential and commercial applications. These off-the-shelf, plug-and-play devices provide high-speed service access with minimal setup required. Key features include multiple LAN ports for versatile applications, secure 128-bit AES encryption, and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) to optimize data and VoIP performance. The ONUs are designed for seamless interoperability, working natively with CommScope’s OLT portfolio while maintaining compatibility with other vendors’ systems.
The PON Evo™ Software Defined Network (SDN) Management and Control platform is CommScope’s centralized solution for simplifying PON network operations. It provides unified control for CommScope and third-party OLTs and ONTs, significantly reducing operational complexity and OPEX in multi-vendor environments. Key features include Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP), centralized alarm management, and a user-friendly GUI. Built on a modular, scalable architecture with open APIs, the platform offers full FCAPS management, network virtualization, and flexible scripting for massive operations, enabling service providers to automate and streamline their entire PON infrastructure.
CommScope’s STARLINE® and Flex Max® RF amplifiers and line extenders are the world’s most widely deployed solutions, offering proven reliability and seamless integration with existing HFC networks. They deliver next-generation performance and exceptional value, enabling a cost-effective upgrade path for legacy architectures.
CommScope’s comprehensive range of 1.2 GHz RF passives—including directional couplers, splitters, power inserters, and equalizers—provides flexible signal management for trunk and feeder lines. A key feature is their interchangeable housing design, which allows for quick and easy field upgrades of existing units to full 1.2 GHz functionality, protecting investments and simplifying the migration to next-generation broadband services.
CommScope’s portfolio of 1.2 GHz RF Taps—including Regal, BTTF-Q, and FFT-Q series—provides a complete solution for managing power and signal distribution in HFC networks.
