Nokia Comparative CCAP Evaluation White Paper
The cable industry continues to assess how to evolve hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks to meet growing customer demands. Distributed access architectures
(DAAs) are of particular interest. A comparative analysis of centralized networks utilizing integrated Converged Cable Access Platforms (CCAPs) and three commonly discussed DAAs shows that a virtual CCAP architecture delivers the best power and
space reductions (> 85 percent).
