As Light Reading reports, Harmonic is pursuing a “DOCSIS Lite” architecture for cable IPTV. This architecture will use IPTV-optimized edge QAM devices to bypass the CMTS, providing a simpler, less costly alternative to M-CMTS. Software added to the CMTS and edge QAMs will enable the DOCSIS modems to understand the IPTV streams. |
