We are servicing more MDU customers that have older buildings. There is no CAT5E installed, so extremely old phone cable or coaxial TV cable seems to be our only inside wire options. There is no easy and inexpensive way to run new cable, so we must deal with what is available. We are very familiar with the VDSL2 offerings to be able to use the phone cable, but know nothing about CMTS solutions available.DOCSIS 3.0 capable modems seem to be much more inexpensive than VDSL2 capable modems. We are looking for recommendations on small CMTS systems for MDU's. I would expect we would want at least DOCSIS 3.0 capabilities, and I assume DOCSIS 3.1 is too new and expensive to deploy on a small scale (think 50 to 200 units per property). We would need the full solution to manage and maintain such an offering. I was thinking something like this might be a good fit: http://www.picodigital.com/product-details.php?ID=miniCMTS200a which is available new for $4500 online. For those of you deploying CMTS systems what do you use and recommend? I am not sure if there is a cable equivalent list to NANOG, but if so please let me know.
Colton, Pico is a decent solution, Harmonic has one too ( http://www.harmonicinc.com/product/cable-edge/nsg-exo). As for cable specific lists, about the closest I know about is the SCTE mailing list. http://www.scte.org/SCTE/Resources/SCTE_Lists.aspx Scott Helms Vice President of Technology ZCorum (678) 507-5000 -------------------------------- http://twitter.com/kscotthelms -------------------------------- On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 9:27 AM, Colton Conor <colton.conor@gmail.com> wrote:

Seriously nice solutions...both of them. --Curtis On 7/29/2015 10:49 AM, frnkblk@iname.com wrote:

is internal corp wifi an option for internal users w/o cat5e ?? - be sure to only allow as many IP# as needed, not the entire 192.168.0.0 pixie dust alvin
So the BEC solution I would assume is just standard MOCA or HPNA based as it is max 200Mbps, but the Ready-Links solution claims 1Gbps. Has anyone used the Ready-Links solution? Seem to good to be true. On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 9:59 AM, Curtis Maurand <cmaurand@xyonet.com> wrote:
