Overview
The Casa Systems C3200 Cable Modem
Termination System (C3200 CMTS) is a new
class of cable edge device that combines a third
generation DOCSIS CMTS and an MPEG video
Edge-QAM in a very high density, and high
availability 3RU platform.
As a third generation CMTS, the C3200 has
several unique capabilities beyond DOCSIS 3.0
features.
The revolutionary DOCSIS bandwidth capacity and cost per-bit of DOCSIS bandwidth of the C3200 provides an
unprecedented opportunity for cable operators to cost-effectively provision high-bandwidth IP services such as IPTV
or video-over-IP and interactive gaming in addition to traditional broadband access and VoIP services.
The integrated MPEG video capacity of the C3200 provides cable operators the flexibility to offer MPEG or DVB-
based broadcast digital cable TV, video-on-demand (VOD), and interactive services in the same platform. The flexi-
bility, multi-functionality and economics of the platform eliminate the need to deploy multiple parallel systems for
MPEG TV, IPTV bypass and DOCSIS broadband access. The following sections detail the unique capabilities of the
C3200.
Features
• Full DOCSIS 3.0 qualified – Multi-channel DRFI RF
for Annex A, B, & C, downstream channel bonding up
to 16 channels, upstream channel bonding up to 16
channels, IPv6, AES encryption/decryption, multicast
QoS, bonded channel multicast, full DOCSIS 3.0
MIBs, and IPDR
• Separate downstream and upstream modules –
Unlike traditional CMTS with fixed downstream to
upstream ratio, Casa CMTS has separate down-
stream modules and upstream modules that provide
flexible downstream to upstream ratio
• Integrated CMTS & video QAM – DOCSIS traffic &
MPEG/DVB video traffic can share the same RF
channel
• Cost effectiveness –The lowest cost per DOCSIS
channel in the industry. The only economical solution
for high bandwidth multimedia IP applications
• Software licensing –Ability to activate additional
channels as needed up to the available physical
capacity of the module
• Superior density – Offers the highest channel densi-
ty in the industry, ranging from 80DSx16US for IP
video to 48DSx48US for typical broadband service
deployment in a single chassis
• Best multi-channel RF performance – Exceeds
DOCSIS DRFI specification
• Extended frequency range – Downstream frequen-
cy range up to 1GHz (48~1002MHz)
• DOCSIS 1.1 and 2.0 features – Complete DOC-
SIS/EuroDOCSIS 1.1 and 2.0 feature sets;
PacketCable and PCMM support, L2VPN, and DSG
• Rich operational features – Rich operational fea-
tures such as show cable modem, flap list, spectral
management and IP bundling ready for deployment
• High availability – Dual hot-pluggable AC power
supply or DC power supply, hot-pluggable fan tray,
and hot-pluggable line card modules, GigE link
redundancy
