Cable Access Management System

Proxilliant’s Cable Access Management System (CAMS) is a comprehensive, integrated hardware and software solution for cable-based advanced service management. The solution architecture features intelligence deployed deep into the access network that works in concert with sophisticated service management software deployed in the headend and regional data center.

CAMS

CAMS consists of three major product components:
CAMS Service Health Manager
CAMS Intelligent Access Controller
CAMS RF Modem Board and Chassis

With coordinated management of Intelligent Access Controllers (IACs) deployed widely throughout the HFC plant -- typically deployed near the last amplifiers -- together with the Service Health Manager, CAMS delivers comprehensive HFC network health and advanced service management. CAMS incorporates intelligent management of real-time monitoring of critical fault and performance indicators, correlation of RF, IP and QoS level information, and continuous path and upstream ingress monitoring and analysis. It features the industry’s only managed ingress suppression technology, Proxillliant’s patented Dynamic Ingress BlockingTM technology.

CAMS is the industry’s first complete system for real-time monitoring, analysis, correlation, reporting and active management of the HFC network and advanced services. Utilizing its powerful modem auto-discovery capability and key fault and performance levels across RF, IP and QoS, CAMS provides a comprehensive view of fault and performance degradation, including precise location, root-cause, and effected service impact, which dramatically cuts troubleshooting costs and time to repair and ensures high-availability of VoIP and other advanced services. CAMS also actively and continuously suppresses ingress close to its source deep in the network, preventing the accumulation of noise that would otherwise crowd out essential upstream capacity and degrade service quality and reliability of performance-intensive, truly two-way services such as VoIP.

Proxilliant’s Cable Access Management System architecture delivers exceptional performance and scalability:

  • Provides real-time and continuous health monitoring and control across the entire footprint of the HFC plant
  • Scales across smaller cable systems to larger systems spanning thousands of nodes, tens of thousands of amplifiers, and tens of millions of subscribers
  • Enables rapid installation and configuration of Intelligent Access controllers throughout the HFC network, with optional pre-integration of IACs within taps and amplifiers
  • Integrates readily with third-party NMS and OSS systems through supported standard software interfaces, providing a fully integrated service operations system
  • Provides standard web-based interfaces for remote systems configuration, externally triggered test and control, and third-party consumption of both real-time and historical health information reports
