The Opti Max OM1111 1 GHz high output node is part of the ARRIS Opti Max node platform for optical to RF (RF to optical in the upstream) signal conversion. For cable operators looking to supply high bandwidth capacity and multiwavelength capability without segmentation to small service groups, the OM1111 with high output capability and optional local powering is a cost effective solution that supplies high value services to small/medium business customers, MDUs, and areas with a small subscriber count. Bandwidth of 1 GHz will enable cable operators to increase downstream capacity for additional service offerings such as HDTV, Video on Demand (VOD), VoIP, and high-speed data / internet. Return bandwidth options beyond 42 MHz are available for additional revenue generating service offerings. The OM1111 with the 9-LH 2-port housing base provides a backwards compatible solution supporting a wide installed base of Phillips, C-COR, and ARRIS line extender and node housings. Kits are available to upgrade existing OM1000s to 1 GHz bandwidth. Legacy amplifier cascades can be reduced for fiber deeper applications by converting Flex Max 320/321 and MMLE line extender amplifiers to nodes. The kit allows operators to expand capacity at an estimated 30% labor savings over complete node replacement solutions. The OM1111 optional CWDM transmitters support ARRIS multi-wavelength solutions for maximization of the available optical spectrum in fiber scarce architectures.
