SoC Enhancements







SoC Enhancements

Support a range of software platforms both based on

Cisco offerings and third parties

Drive to more standardised software platform, e.g. RDK

and open source leveraged solutions

Less network and device-specific software components

Move to DRM from CAS

Also addressing some of the remaining

challenges with RDK-based solutions

Inconsistent components across SoC

vendors

Undefined interfaces to media

acceleration and encryption

Marketplace is rapidly moving to ARM-based designs

Opportunity to standardise elements around this

Cisco is a Founding Member of the Linaro Digital Home

Group, along with ST, ARM and Comcast • Focused on the following:

• Complete distro build environment &

tools

• Linaro Stable Kernel (LSK) for

STBSecure Media Playback - W3C

Encrypted Extensions “EME”

• Gstreamer media optimizations -

OpenMAX IL Codec plugins with TEE

• Web-based browser (Chromium/Blink)

How Does it Come to Market?

• Main focus is on existing HD services, and a few specific Ultra HD cases (PayTV markets)

• Linked to DVB-Sx extensions for satellite for efficient spectrum usage

• Spectrum allocation and DVB-T2 (ATSC 3.0) will define rollout for terrestrial services

• Expect to launch in late CY 14 for satellite (sports – 4k) early adopters. CY 16 and beyond for mass market and terrestrial

• 12 to 24 month refresh cycle on endpoints vs. 5 years for displays

• Reduced bitrates and/or provide better picture quality (spatial and/or temporal)

• Initially software decode until silicon is available and shipping (e.g. Snap Dragon 800)

• Main focus is on existing HD services

• Expect to launch CY14

• Low frame rates (24fps vs. 50/60), offline encoding, limited bandwidth requirements

• Main focus is on 1080p50/60 services and some Ultra HD

• Some services can operate in closed environments: optimized codecs exists

• Rely on existing CDNs for content distribution, limited changes required for VOD platforms

• Expect to launch in CY14

Mobile Satellite, Cable and Terrestrial

Traditional IPTV OTT/VOD Services OTT/VOD Services

• Leverage the (approx) 2:1 bandwidth savings to extend xDSL footprints

• Quality/bitrate tradeoff constrained by real-time encoders capabilities for live encoding

• Main focus is on existing HD services

• Expect to launch in mid CY 16 with ramp in 2017

• Some homegrown systems may launch earlier if not gated on middleware solutions

Business Priorities for MSO Data Business

Increase Revenue

Drive Operational Speed & Efficiency

Stay Ahead of Competition

• Deliver faster internet tiers every year

• 10X bandwidth growth over 5 years challenges space, power & TCO

• Shareholder/management pressure to keep budgets in line

Deliver More - with Less

• Business services – more complex & more demanding

• Consumers - Make customers lives simpler and richer

• Business agility & service velocity whilst reducing costs

Deliver more attractive services faster

• Speed – reduce provisioning intervals to hours or days – “devops for the network”

• “Cross-domain” management fast and error free for business services and more

• From managing configurations to managing services

Orchestrate, Automate, Simplify


Leverage Existing Cable Access Infrastructure

• 1Gb Services over uBR10k with 32 channel modems

- Broad, cost effective, rapid deployment feasible

• Converge VOD & Data

- Reduce rack space, power & cooling


Delivering CCAP with High Performance on cBR-8

• 10x the bandwidth of existing CMTS platforms

• Reduce hub space & power by up to 50%

• Ground-up design for DOCSIS 3.1 - Scaling to 10Gbps DS & 2Gbps US per Service Group

• Convergence of all Broadcast and Narrowcast services


Path to Virtualising CCAP – Phase 1

• Distributes DOCSIS PHY across hubs & nodes - CMTS is comprised of CMTS Core, PHY and multiple remote PHY

• Enables reducing CMTS Chassis by up to 75% - 4x the Service Groups of existing CMTS’s

- Reduce power & rack space by over 50%

• Delivers unprecedented scaling


Path to Virtualising CCAP – Phase 2

• vCCAP = vCCAP Cores + distributed Remote PHYs

- vCCAP Cores: agile, elastic and on-demand

- Remote PHY nodes scale DOCSIS bandwidth at the fiber node

• vCCAP scales subscribers and bandwidth without adding space and power in the hubs

• CCAP and vCCAP co-exists

- Operator chosen blend


Fiber Deep and Roadmap to FTTH

• Fiber deep architecture

- Reduces OpEx and multiplies capacity

• MetroE and WDM Backbone

- Superior capacity and cost vs. analog fiber

- Low cost backbone for all Metro services

• FTTH (PON) for selected customers

- Integrated on MetroE/WDM Backbone

• Blended DOCSIS and PON architecture

- Highest capacity and low cost

- Operator paced evolution


In Summary

• Disruption generates opportunity

• Several key transitions to plan for and execute on as Service Providers

• HEVC and UHD introduction

• Both from encoding, and CPE

• Gateway and STB evolution

• New broadband software environment

• Connected life

• Path to IP

• Cable Access Evolution

• These all come together as part of an overall IP-Video transition plan

Thank you.
