With 72 DOCSIS downstream and 60 upstream channels per card, the uBR-MC3X60V BPE sets a new benchmark for scalable, reliable, and cost-effective DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem termination system (CMTS) solutions.
20 Times the Speed at a Fraction of the Cost*

As the first and only CMTS product to support both the integrated and modular CableLabs CMTS architectures in the same chassis, the uBR10012 provides a broad range of configuration options. The uBR-MC3GX60V BPE provides excellent scalability while significantly reducing the per-channel cost of the CMTS. The Cisco uBR10012 CMTS with the uBR-MC3GX60V BPE delivers 10 times the capacity and 20 times the speed of DOCSIS 2.0 solutions at only a fraction of the cost. Because it bonds 24 DOCSIS channels (or 18 EuroDOCSIS channels) per bonding group, the solution allows cable operators to deliver ultra-broadband services with maximum downstream speeds approaching 1.0 Gbps per subscriber. A fully loaded Cisco uBR10012 CMTS with the Cisco uBR-MC3GX60V BPE can deliver 500 HDTV channels, video-on-demand (VoD), and ultra-broadband services to 20,000 homes.
