AMSTERDAM -- This week at IBC, Casa Systems, Inc. will introduce the latest addition to the Casa C2000 product series, the Casa C2200 Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). The C2200 is the industry's most compact, cost effective CMTS device for delivering bandwidth-intensive broadband services today, and integrated service offerings (data, voice, video) tomorrow.

The wideband DOCSIS optimized Casa C2200 architecture offers cable operators unprecedented bandwidth flexibility with independent CMTS downstream modules and upstream modules. Capable of supporting channel bonding up to 16 downstream channels and up to eight upstream channels, the C2200 provides the industry's highest peak bandwidth per user and highest density of both downstream and upstream channels in a 1RU form factor. With the standards-based DOCSIS 3.0 implementation, the C2200 has interoperated with a range of cable modems that support channel bonding. At IBC, Casa will showcase channel bonding capability with total throughput of over 100Mbps in conjunction with NETGEAR's channel bonding cable modem (model CM232).

Casa will also debut its C2150 Downstream Digital Cable Termination System, a multi-purpose cost effective "edge-QAM" platform that allows cable operators to deliver both video-over-IP services and MPEG video services simultaneously. Designed to meet the multichannel DOCSIS RF interface specification (DOCSIS DRFI), it offers the best RF performance and most cost competitive advantage in the industry today. By supporting dynamic bandwidth resource allocation and multicasting according to user demand, C2150 is also an ideal platform for switched digital video.

Founded by broadband network veteran Jerry Guo, Casa Systems is transforming the economics of provisioning bandwidth to deliver cost effective new digital television and data services. Unlike any predecessor on the market, Casa's C2000 product series of network edge devices significantly increases the capacity and lowers the per-stream and per-channel cost of video-on-demand (VOD), ad insertion, broadcast channel management, and broadband data services.

"Our C2000 platform has a highly flexible, future-proof architecture that radically reduces the cost of running a wide range of broadband video and data services," said Jerry Guo, president and CEO, Casa Systems. "With the extremely high peak bandwidth capability provided by the C2200 CMTS today, cable operators can be assured that they will have the tools to compete with Fiber-to-the-Home in the future without the need for a forklift upgrade at the headend. Furthermore, they can change the downstream to upstream ratio according to bandwidth usage patterns by reconfiguring the CMTS."
