Network Status Monitoring Transponders


Electroline is offering a new HMS Transponder with Embedded DOCSIS® Modem
(DHT) technology for managing, monitoring and controlling HFC network devices. Transponders are installed into HFC equipment such as standby power supplies , fiber nodes, and optical amplifiers, and also can be implemented as stand-alone independent network test points (or otherwise known as end of line monitors). The power inherent in the DOCSIS® technology also enables device transponders (for example a standby power supply transponder) to also report and alarm on VoIP service and RF network RF network performance. Electroline transponders offer substantially more valued and features than just monitoring of the device it is installed in.

Electroline's transponder product is based on three standards:

  1. DOCSIS® for the PHY and MAC layer protocol; SNMP;
  2. SCTE HMS.

Never before have these standards been integrated together. The combination of these standards forms a technology that provides a significant advantage over the more traditional proprietary and evolving HMS transponders.

Transponders enable the communications of status and performance indicators from devices in the outside plant portion of an HFC subscriber access network. Furthermore, a transponder can receive instructions for the control of functionality in the devices in which it is installed. Devices not having transponders cannot report critical information needed for management back to a remote or centralized manager. Likewise, the devices without transponders cannot hear instructions from the manager and react as instructed.

Electroline Cable Modem Module (ECMM)

ECMMAbout the size of a business card, the ELECTROLINE Cable Modem Module (ECMM) is probabaly the smallest cable modem in its class. It is temperature hardened for integration in OEM product that is required to operate in the outdoor or extreme temperature environment. Typical cable modems are designed to work on desk tops, indoors and were not designed to operate under extreme conditions.

The ECMM enables various applications requiring communications to remote locations to backhaul or connect using the Cable TV and broadband infrastructure that applies Hybrid Fiber and Coaxial (HFC) or Fiber to the Home (FTTH) technologies in the access network.

DHT-NA-02 imageElectroline's DHT-PS Transponder interfaces with a standby power supply. Available in DOCSIS ® –EuroDOCSIS versions, it provides the communication channel, using the HFC cable network, between the remotely located power supplies and a computer running the Network Management Software.

The The DHT-PS Transponder is not a typical power supply transponder. It implements DOCSIS® cable modem technology in its physical media interface to the network, specifically the Physical (PHY) and Media Access Control (MAC) layer protocol. This is achieved with standard, readily available DOCSIS® integrated circuits. tri
