Working together, the two companies will be able to offer operators a synergy of best-in-breed cable access technology from both companies including nodes, RF amplifiers and DOCSIS 3.1 Remote PHY (R-PHY) equipment. This is a direct response to the industry need for European-style products for optimized size and power consumption on the so-called compact form factor.

Our relationship with Cisco simply makes it happen.”
