📢 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: $AAOI AOI to Unveil First Live Quantum30 3.0GHz Concept Demo at SCTE TechExpo 👉 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: ➤ 𝗔𝗢𝗜 will demonstrate its live 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺𝟯𝟬 𝟯.𝟬𝗚𝗛𝘇 concept in Atlanta. ➤ Demo runs at 𝗦𝗖𝗧𝗘 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗼 from September 29–October 2. ➤ System demonstrates live downstream operation at 𝟯.𝟬𝗚𝗛𝘇 over coaxial infrastructure. ➤ Hardware includes a 𝟯.𝟬𝗚𝗛𝘇 amplifier, SC-QAMs, OFDM channels, and signal generator. ➤ Technology explores cable network evolution beyond 𝗗𝗢𝗖𝗦𝗜𝗦 𝟰.𝟬's 𝟭.𝟴𝗚𝗛𝘇 capacity. ➤ AOI also published a white paper examining 𝟯.𝟬𝗚𝗛𝘇 HFC networks. ➤ White paper addresses attenuation, 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿, thermal, and signal-integrity challenges. ➤ AOI evaluates multiple next-generation 𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗿 architectures for spectrum expansion. ➤ Proof-of-concept builds upon AOI's existing 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺𝟭𝟴 engineering foundation. 👉 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: ➤ 𝟯.𝟬𝗚𝗛𝘇 could significantly expand future cable network bandwidth beyond DOCSIS 4.0. ➤ Live hardware provides operators early insight into real-world 𝟯.𝟬𝗚𝗛𝘇 requirements. ➤ Early development could position 𝗔𝗢𝗜 within future HFC network upgrade cycles. ➤ Industry feedback may help shape engineering requirements for future cable standards. 👉 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗺𝗮𝗻, Senior Director of Product Management for AOI's Broadband Access Business Unit: "The cable industry is moving fast on DOCSIS 4.0 at 1.8GHz, but the engineering decisions for what comes next at 3.0GHz need to start now, well before any standard is set. Operators have to understand what changes at these higher frequencies: the amplifier architectures, the outside plant implications, and the power demands. That's exactly why we built this demo. We want to show customers real working hardware at 3.0GHz, gather their feedback, and bring AOI's learnings into the standards process when and where it matters."
