DP-1000 DOCSIS PROTOCOL ANALYZER

Ensure Smooth 24-7 Operation for Your MAC Layer

Averna’s DOCSIS Protocol Analyzers are the industry standard for functional DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS network analysis, providing exceptional visibility into the MAC layer. Multiple system operators (MSOs), chipset manufacturers, product developers and certification bodies use them to quickly find and correct trouble spots.

Best Tool on the Market for DOCSIS 3.0 & 3.1 Protocol Analysis

Optimized for real-time signal processing with FPGA technology, the DP-1000 analyzes up to 32×8 DS/US SC-QAM channels, 2×1 or 1×2 OFDM(A) DS/US channels, as well as mixed-mode configurations consisting of SC-QAM, OFDM and OFDMA channels. It offers numerous channel-filtering, demodulation, triggering, display, and upgrade features.

As a passive sniffer between CMTS and CPE devices, the DP-1000 silently captures and filters DOCSIS MAC-layer data in real-time to verify RF parameters, validate MAC-level communication, troubleshoot interoperability issues, and improve network performance.
