Colton,
Arris has plans to release a remote PHY+MAC box but I don't think they have
released anything but their plans. John Chapman said last year at SCTE
that Cisco was going down the remote PHY only path because they think that
will be the most cost effective way for large MSOs to deploy MHAv2.
Scott,
I was able to find the Huawie solution:

Looks like its 32x4 capable today, and software upgradeable to DOCSIS 3.1
which is nice. Appears to also have a 10G uplink port on it. Seems like the

Huawai has one, but I can't find the product page on their site off hand.
Here's one from Sumavision:

Yes, I looked at CASA, but their small unit is the C1G, which is an 8x8 max
DOCSIS 3.0 unit. Plus they want a high price point, almost quadruple what a
16X4 Pico Digital or Harmonic's unit cost. Not seeing the value or specs
there to justify it.

Scott,
Have any idea which exact vendors and model numbers are within this price
range? So far I have just found mini CMTS systems like the Pico and
Harmonic's. Both of these are a 16x4 configuration, but no mention of
remote MAC+PHY nor DOSIS 3.1. Then their is Huawei's solution, but still I

Richard,
Thanks for the information on these. Do you mind me asking what is a
ballpark for these devices? From what I have read/heard, the Huawei D-CMTS
was a 16x4 unit software upgradeable to 32x4 I thought. Is the one you have
software upgradeable to 32x4? Are these DOCSIS 3.1 capable.

I'm in the middle of pulling some Cisco 7246VXR-UBR's (antiques) and
replacing them with the Huawei D-CMTS devices. From what I understand of
your needs, the Huawei devices will do what you are looking for. We are
running 8x4, but can upgrade the licenses to 24x4 if we need the bandwidth,

Colton,
D3.1 gear is just coming online right now. If you're going to go with the
smaller PHY+MAC approach I'd just make sure the company has plans to update
their boxes to 3.1 in a decent (your judgement) amount of time. Don't
expect any 3.0 box to be software upgradeable to 3.1, the hardware i

Yes, we are in the USA. So based on everyones recommendations, I am going
to stay far away from EURODOCSIS. I was told be a vendor that Arris and

Nick,
Absolutely, if your plant is in Europe or one of the other areas (lots of
Africa and the middle East is like that) that adopted EuroDOCSIS I'd agree
wholeheartedly. I didn't see Colton say where they're located, but all
North America is the US flavor so that's what I assume on NANOG.

It depends where you are going to be deploying these things, northern

Nick,
That very small upside for an extreme downside. Trying to hire someone to
work on your system with Euro channelization, not to mention buying
amplifiers and passives is a huge PITA. I have customers in Europe who

The biggest reason to not do EuroDOCSIS is logistics and dealing with
various TAC organizations versus a pretty small increase in per channel
performance (but not per hertz). I'd pretty strongly recommend against it,
just because you're going to run into issues ranging from buying modems, to

Hey Colton,
We’re using small 16 channel CMTS systems for residential MDUs and colocating
them directly on premise inside of wiring closets and then connecting them by
metro ethernet. We’ve had great successes so far with this model.
There’s lots of CMTS vendors.

Those that are SCTE members have access to the SCTE mailing list. Like the
comments about the CableTV list, it is often focused on plant/transport/RF more
than Docsis but there are good DOCSIS knowledgeable people on the list too that
