As discussed in an earlier post, the new APEX3000 universal edge QAM is designed to bridge the gap between legacy architectures and future CCAP deployments. However, three specific characteristics make this new universal edge QAM extremely valuable for today – whether you have CCAP (Converged Cable Access Platform) on your network roadmap or not.
The ultra high density and ingest capacity of the APEX3000 helps operators save on power and cooling costs, as well as space in the headend. Operators can start with as few as 16 QAM channels per port, and scale up to the full 48 as needed. Greater capacity means a greater ability to meet increasing demand for narrowcast content. Greater density means lower costs even as operators light up more VOD, SDV, and network DVR channels. The APEX3000 is also highly modular, with hot-swappable QAM blades and power supplies, and the flexibility to support different configurations depending on system requirements.
The APEX 3000 is a future proof solution that supports 100% ingest of unicast services today, and this ingest capacity also enables the transition to the all IP-based services of tomorrow.
Redundancy is another big benefit of the APEX3000 including support for both QAM blade and host module redundancy. Fail-over is automatic so no operator intervention is needed. The APEX3000 also supports two power sources, with the option to configure one for AC power, and one for DC.
Finally, with regards to content ingest, the latest APEX hardware includes twelve 10Gigabit Ethernet ports – eight primary ports, and four back-up ports. This allows operators to ingest enough content to fill every QAM channel with unique, unicast content which is critical for applications like VOD and DVR.

Heya i am for the first time here. I found this board and I find It
really useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to give
something back and aid others like you helped me.
Wenn ich den Text “%BOLGTITLE” ganz genau durcharbeite,
dann sehe ich , dass hier viel an Zeit und Arbeit investiert
wurde. Das finde ich klasse. Denn man liest zahlreiche zusammenhanglose Texte in den unterschiedlichen
Blogs. Also schön weitermachen und nicht
etwas anderes erzählen lassen. Das hier ist mit Sicherheit die beste Möglichkeit, wie du auch weiterhin noch so
klasse Postings wie diesen hier schreiben kannst.
Greate pieces. Keep posting such kind of info on your site.
Im really impressed by your blog.
Hi there, You have performed a fantastic job. I will certainly digg it and for
my part recommend to my friends. I’m confident they’ll be
benefited from this web site.
Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to
protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard
on. Any recommendations?
What’s up everyone, it’s my first visit at this web page, and paragraph is truly fruitful for
me, keep up posting such articles or reviews.
Hello, its fastidious paragraph concerning media
print, we all know media is a enormous source of information.
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your blog. You have some really great articles and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d love to write some articles
for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please blast me an email
if interested. Kudos!

With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism
or copyright violation? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being ripped off? I’d really appreciate it.
Asking questions are actually fastidious thing if you are not
understanding anything totally, except this post gives good understanding even.
Hurrah! At last I got a webpage from where I can in fact take useful information regarding my
study and knowledge.
