Description
Remote PHY (R-PHY) is a key component in the cable industry’s adoption of a Distributed Access Architecture (DAA). This Deep Dive course examines Cisco’s deployment of R-PHY architecture and devices.
Remote PHY (R-PHY) is a key component in the cable industry’s adoption of a Distributed Access Architecture (DAA). DAA and R-PHY are foundational technologies for future innovative network architectures such as Virtual CMTS (vCMTS), Cloud Native Broadband Router (cnBR), and Full-duplex DOCSIS. R-PHY enables the migration of physical layer (PHY) functions (such as RF Spectrum generation) from the Headend to the network edge – leading to more robust RF networks. The deployment of DAA/R-PHY, coupled with DOCSIS 3.1, allows cable operators to deliver ultra-broadband services with maximum downstream/upstream speeds approaching 10 Gbps/1 Gbps respectively
Intended Audience
This course is designed for technical professionals who need to know how to deploy Cisco Remote PHY and associated equipment.
The primary audience for this course includes:
- Cable Operator Network Operation Center personnel
- System Engineer/ Integrator/Solutions support personnel
- HFC Maintenance technicians
- Channel partners, resellers
At Completion
You will learn the Remote PHY architecture, Remote PHY Device (RPD) installation, CLI commands used for verification and monitoring, deployment best practices, and perform key R-PHY configuration tasks during hands-on labs.
Prerequisites
