Abstract :
Summary form only given. In summary, by deploying low-cost mini fiber nodes (mFNs) deep into coax distribution networks, the mFN-based hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) evolution strategy provides a novel solution to upstream limitations in traditional HFC networks with further enhanced system bandwidth even beyond the limits of coax amplifiers. This results in a transparent HFC upgrade for high capacity without incurring the cost of system re-design and re-engineering.
