The Benefits and Challenges of Deploying 5G Small Cells on the HFC Strand Network

Cable operators are deploying small cell radios through their existing HFC network infrastructure to offload data and associated costs of offering mobility services through a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) arrangement. Attaching small cell radios to the existing HFC network enables rapid deployment at a fraction of the cost and time as traditional deployment methods.

Implementing Nanogrid into the Critical Facility

Operators are looking at introducing nanogrid architectures into critical facilities to maintain reliability in the face of increased thermal loading and to eliminate points of failure. Nanogrid architectures will further enable the use of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as wind or solar to supplement utility power, allowing operators to realize additional cost benefits by avoiding peak usage utility rates or selling power back to the grid.

Powering PON with conventional cable broadband equipment

Billions of dollars of public funding are being allocated to expand high speed broadband connectivity into unserved or underserved parts of the rural US and Canada. One of the most common methods for expanding the network is through passive optical networks (PON). PON remote optical line terminals (R-OLTs) – located in remote service areas – distribute fiber connections for homes and businesses.

The Next Era For Standby Float

The demands of customers involved in standby float (often referred to as stable grid) applications are ramping up dramatically. Here a float charge is used to constantly maintain the batteries in a full state of charge (SoC) condition – so that they are ready to respond to any interruptions in the mains supply, should that occur, and the connected load can still be supported. In the past, it was mainly the lifespan of batteries that mattered for such applications. Now, expectations are being raised in relation to other properties.

Extended Runtime: How Will It Affect Your Network Infrastructure

The cable broadband network has evolved from being a vehicle for the provision of entertainment services to become a strategic element of the country’s infrastructure, providing broadband internet access to both homes and businesses. Without appropriate backup measures in place, however, network availability is only as good as the utility grid that powers it.
