Aurora Networks (part of the Vistance Group) is reinforcing its position as a cable technology leader by integrating the premier vCCAP solutions formerly of Casa Systems into its Unified DAA strategy. The new vCCAP Core platform offers operators a seamless path toward a virtualized, software-defined network infrastructure.

As the digital landscape evolves, cable operators are seeking ways to scale their networks cost-effectively without the burden of massive hardware investments. The Aurora Networks vCCAP Core (formerly known as Axyom vCMTS / vCCAP Evo) addresses this challenge by providing the market's most performant virtualized CMTS platform.

 

Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) and DOCSIS 4.0

 

The Aurora Networks vCCAP architecture is optimized to support Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) models, which shift PHY-layer processing closer to the end-user. This transition significantly reduces headend space requirements and power consumption.

• Full DOCSIS 4.0 Readiness: The platform enables a transition to next-generation DOCSIS 4.0 standards, supporting both Full Duplex DOCSIS (FDX) and Extended Spectrum DOCSIS (ESD) technologies.

• Symmetrical Gigabit Speeds: vCCAP Core facilitates multi-gigabit symmetrical speeds, meeting the demands of modern cloud services and high-performance gaming.

• Ultra-Low Latency: Leveraging Low Latency DOCSIS (LLD) technology, the platform minimizes jitter and lag for mission-critical applications.

 

Unrivaled Interoperability: Support for 3rd Party RPD's

 

One of the primary competitive advantages of the Aurora Networks vCCAP Core is its commitment to an open ecosystem. Unlike closed, proprietary systems, Aurora’s solution is fully interoperable with a wide range of hardware.

The platform adheres to industry-standard Remote PHY (R-PHY) architecture. This ensures it communicates seamlessly with 3rd Party Remote PHY Devices (RPDs). This flexibility allows operators to select the best-in-class nodes from various vendors—such as Vecima, Teleste or Technetix—while maintaining centralized control via the Aurora vCCAP Core, effectively eliminating vendor lock-in.
