Remote PHY (R-PHY) is a key component in the cable industry’s adoption of a
Distributed Access Architecture (DAA). This Deep Dive course examines Cisco’s
deployment of R-PHY architecture and devices.
Remote PHY (R-PHY) is a key component in the cable industry’s adoption of a
Distributed Access Architecture (DAA). DAA and R-PHY are foundational technologies
for future innovative network architectures such as Virtual CMTS (vCMTS), Cloud
Native Broadband Router (cnBR) and Full-duplex DOCSIS. R-PHY enables the migration
of physical layer (PHY) functions (such as RF Spectrum generation) from the Headend
to the network edge – leading to more robust RF networks. The deployment of DAA/RPHY,
coupled with DOCSIS 3.1, allows cable operators to deliver ultra-broadband
services with maximum downstream/upstream speeds approaching 10 Gbps/1 Gbps
respectively.
