AIMA 3000 modular optical headend solution

Due to drastically increasing subscriber bandwidths and the launch of DOCSIS 3.1 based services, cable TV providers are forced to continuously segment HFC networks and improve network quality and reliability.

In the ever-growing competition, it is very important for service providers to have simple, cost-effective operation and low power consumption. Taking these needs into account, PBN has developed a completely new HFC platform with the highest port density available on the market. The AIMA3000 platform features HFC, RFoG and FTTH 1550nm video transfer modules. They have excellent references around the world and Europe. The AIMA 3000 system has also been recently deployed by UPC in its networks.

Features of the AIMA3000 system:

The highest port density available on the market
Extremely low power consumption
Outstanding price / value and price / port ratio
In a 4RU high frame, 16pcs of single, 2, or 4 modules can be inserted
Interchangeable modules during operation with auto-configuration function
Highly reliable, fully redundant power supply
The intelligent network management solution includes the integrated SNMP Agent and HTTP Web server and
SCTE-HMS compatible SNMP MIBs
It is possible to implement redundancy between modules (less than 15ms switching time)
