Cable Operators
Cable operators are in a heated race to fully capture their subscriber accounts. By broadly meeting all television, Internet, and voice service needs in a "Multiplay," they can expand revenue streams, while blocking future moves by competitors.
The challenge is to bundle existing cable infrastructure with new IP-based network solutions, to form an integrated multiservice architecture. Conversion to a single IP-based infrastructure must preserve traditional network attributes of scale, security, performance, and reliability, while delivering intelligence and adeptness for the Multiplay.
Juniper Networks cable network solutions assist cable operators in scaling their networks and supporting voice services today, looking towards the Next-Generation Network Architecture (NGNA) for Multiplay delivery. With experience enabling some of the world's largest, most sophisticated IP infrastructures, Juniper Networks is the logical choice for cable operators seeking the next steps for their expanding IP networks.

Broadcast TV Distribution
Distribution of broadcast content requires performance, quality of service, resilience, replication and interoperability. Read our latest white paper, Best Practices for Video Transit on an MPLS Backbone
731 KB for a discussion of the use of point-to-multipoint label switched paths (LSPs), which enable operators to migrate high-value broadcast video distribution from legacy transport to an IP/MPLS core.
Next-Generation Network Architecture
Juniper Networks has embarked on an important next-generation effort to build the modular CMTS for the edge of cable networks. We are building the modular CMTS in conjunction with Motorola, a leading provider of cable network technology. The collaboration focuses on a standards-based solution that will enable MSOs to efficiently deliver high-value services to their cable subscribers.
Press release: Motorola and Juniper Networks Announce Collaboration on Modular Cable Modem Termination System Development
Press coverage: IP and Converged Services: CMTSs Go Modular
This article, from the September 2006 issue of Communications Technology magazine was jointly written with Motorola and describes the Modular CMTS (M-CMTS) architecture and how it will enable true convergence in MSO networks.
Webinar: Deconstructing NGNA – A Light Reading Webinar sponsored by Juniper Networks
Next-Generation Network Architecture (NGNA) is the cable industry's umbrella "vision" for its network of the future – ultimately a move to IP. Parts of NGNA can be found in CableLabs specifications, including DOCSIS 3.0, PacketCable, OpenCable, and CableHome. This Webinar outlines the NGNA vision, its key specifications, and the likely timelines for adoption.
Packet Cable Multimedia
Deploying premium services requires a services delivery architecture that extends beyond standard Internet access and best-effort routing. Juniper Networks SDX-300 Service Deployment System with PacketCable Multimedia (PCMM) capabilities enables cable operators to seamlessly link RF and IP edge and core QoS services.
IPv6 Migration
IP is certainly here to stay, and the systems and services converging on IP are putting strains on the available IPv4 addresses that were unforeseen just a few years ago. MSOs not only understand that IPv6 is essential both to the continued growth of existing services and to the rollout of new services, but also that planning for the introduction of IPv6 into their networks must begin now.

Metro Wi-Fi
A centrally managed metropolitan Wi-Fi access solution from Juniper Networks enables MSOs to deploy hotspots at small to medium-sized enterprise retail locations, the most likely places where prized residential customers can transparently continue using MSO-provided premium services. The Juniper Networks Metro Wi-Fi solution enables MSOs to successfully retain and up-sell residential customers via retail-based access through integrated back-end routing and service deployment and management capabilities.
Juniper Metro Wi-Fi solution benefits include:
- Capacity to scale to mass deployment of thousands of Wi-Fi hotspots
- Ability to enforce QoS policies on a per-flow and per-subscriber basis
- Central management of policies and subscribers
- Open interfaces and APIs allowing customization and tie-in with legacy MSO systems such as authentication, billing, security, and Web portal farms
