• Pure Ethernet or PON connection between CMTS/CCAP platform and RCN

• DEPI/UEP protocol runs over Ethernet/PON link in order to control the RCN

• RCN contains only HF modulators and demodulators for the DOCSIS part

• Central management in CMTS/CCAP

• DCN is connected to standard IP network (Ethernet or PON)

• DOCSIS/CCAP specific functionalities are generated in DCN

• Central management in cloud or local servers

• IP streams for specific services such as TV or radio are generated in the cloud or on local systems

• Pure Ethernet or PON connection between OLT and CMC

• DOCSIS /CCAP specific functionalities are generated in CMC

• Central management in OLT
