Cisco Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS) DOCSIS 3.0

RRP: £1990 (plus VAT)

Duration: 4 Days

Course Contents, Benefits and Positioning

The Cisco Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) 3.0 course covers primary cable modem termination system (CMTS) standards and concepts, provides hands-on expertise, and establishes important foundation knowledge for bidirectional channel bonding and other advanced service cable technologies. Architectures emphasized through lecture and lab exercises include both modular CMTS (M-CMTS) and integrated CMTS (I-CMTS). While this course focuses on implementing DOCSIS services on the Cisco uBR10012, the learning experiences from this course also apply to other Cisco CMTS’s that support DOCSIS 3.0 technology.

Target Audience

This course is for technical professionals who design, implement, and operate Cisco CMTS equipment and who deploy DOCSIS 3.0 features in cable networks.

The following are considered the primary audience for this course:

  • Cable operator engineers
  • Cable operator network operations centre personnel
  • System integrators
  • System engineers
