The Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router is a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) designed for high-performance broadband services over cable networks. It plays a crucial role in managing and controlling cable modems, enabling cable service providers to offer high-speed internet and other broadband services to subscribers. The uBR10012 is part of Cisco’s network solutions for cable operators and telecommunications companies, allowing them to provide high-speed internet, voice, and video services to their customers.
The Cisco uBR10012 is qualified for PacketCable 1.0, DOCSIS 2.0, Euro-DOCSIS 1.1, and DOCSIS 3.0 Bronze, designed to meet the current and future needs of cable operators. Based on Cisco IOS Software with full Layer 3 routing capabilities, it offers advanced networking and routing options. Starting from Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(13)BC, the product supports PacketCable Multimedia (PCMM), enabling cable operators to deploy next-generation multimedia services such as Voice over IP (VoIP), videotelephony, and online gaming. With Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(13)BC or later, operators can optimize real-time network utilization for prioritized and aggregated resource demands of all PCMM applications, enhancing the broadband subscriber experience by prioritizing or reserving bandwidth for latency-sensitive and feature-rich services. The CMTS fulfills service flow requests and now supports admission control, making real-time decisions on a service request before committing CMTS-controlled resources. Operators can set policies on how resources are allocated among multiple services and establish thresholds to handle demand surges.
The product is also compatible with the CableLabs OpenCable DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway (DSG) specification. DSG allows cable operators to transport upstream and downstream video traffic directly through the CMTS instead of a proprietary, separate video infrastructure. By incorporating out-of-band (OOB) messaging on digitally modulated DOCSIS carriers, cable operators can consolidate cable modem and set-top box (STB) data traffic on a shared DOCSIS channel. Features like admission control and advanced traffic engineering, along with advanced DSG mode on their cable IP networks, help cable operators consolidate voice, video, and data traffic on their cable IP networks. Furthermore, Cisco is a leader in enabling lawful intercept for CMTS. Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(13)BC introduces support for Service-Independent Intercept (SII) on the Cisco uBR10012. SII support helps operators meet law enforcement needs by providing a standards-based mechanism to intercept IP and voice traffic originating from or destined for subscribers on their network.
The Cisco uBR10012 chassis can be configured with the following components based on your needs:
• Up to eight RF line cards • Up to six Wideband SPAs for Wideband channel bonding • Up to two 4-SPA interface processors (SIPs), which serve as the carrier card for Wideband SPAs • Up to two WAN SPAs for connecting to the IP infrastructure and external networks • Up to two Cisco Performance Routing Engine (PRE) modules • Two Cisco Timing, Communication, and Control cards • Two AC or DC power entry modules (PEMs) or two AC or DC 3300W power supplies
Applications
With the Cisco uBR10012, cable operators can implement advanced IP cable services while supporting a wide range of applications, including:
• High-speed data (HSD) • Managed access and tiered services • Business services • VoIP • Video over IP • VPN
The Cisco uBR10012 offers an optimal solution for expanding services and entering new markets. A combination of services like VoIP, VPN, IP Multicast, and basic HSD is consistently, efficiently, and optimally supported across the network. The Cisco uBR10012 offers an ideal combination of density, reliability, flexibility, and performance.
