Deploying RFoG directly from headend
Gaining new customers is critical to generating new revenues. In many cable franchises, there are pockets of very low-density areas where it’s too costly to service these potential customers with traditional HFC architectures. Aurora Networks’ Radio Frequency over Glass (RFoG) and Radio Frequency Passive Optical Network (RFPON) solutions provide operators with a cost-effective fiber to the premises (FTTP) means to service these households. Aurora’s solutions: Extend network reach via fiber to rural and low-density areas Cost less to deploy than HFC in rural environments Reduce maintenance and powering expenses Enables operators to capture new revenue-generating subscribers Localized FTTP networks for premium residential or commercial developments
Aurora’s RFoG Advantages Extend network to unserved areas Enable route redundancy Support low-cost CPE technology Support PON for commercial services
Advantages of RFoG The RFoG solution enables cable operators to achieve the bandwidth gains of FTTP without changes to standard equipment in the headend or home. RFoG: Delivers the same video, voice and data services as HFC networks Uses the same back office and provisioning systems as HFC networks Leverages the installed base of set-tops, cable modems, and embedded multimedia terminal adapters (eMTAs) Requires minimal new installation training

Deploying Aurora’s RFoG solution and later adding the Node PON module
VHub Delivers Benefits Aurora Networks’ pioneering VHub™ technology conquers the limitations of initial FTTP implementations. When combined with Aurora’s Node PON™ module, it also provides a smooth migration path to the all-IP network of the future — our RFPON solution. Aurora’s RFoG and RFPON technology enables cable operators to: Reach new customers by cost-effectively extending plant, downstream and upstream Eliminate costly fiber construction to new service areas Leverage video, DOCSIS® and voice investment by using existing headend equipment and back-office systems for both RFoG and PON services Upgrade network area-by-area, when and where needed Deploy EPON for commercial and high-end residential customers over ubiquitous network Two upstream wavelengths, 1310 nm (lowest cost) or 1610 nm (future-proof) with EPON Deploy alternate routing deep into the network, increasing the network availability Overcome handling and restoration issues associated with large bundles of fiber DOCSIS is a trademark of Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.
Aurora’s VHub Innovations EDFAs boost downstream distances. xWDM digital return extends upstream reach and fiber efficiency. Optical switching provides route diversity. Node PON OLT module supports DOCSIS provisioning. Interchangeable modules enable network evolution.

VHub™ Aurora Networks’ VHub provides a fully operational hub in a standard, weatherproof node housing. In RFPON applications, it serves up to 256 subscribers with one transport fiber. The VHub solution:
Future-Proof Networks Because Aurora’s RFPON solution adheres to the widely deployed PON standard, cable operators are well positioned for the future. Traditional RFoG implementations use the 1310 nm wavelength to carry upstream traffic from subscribers. However, PON standards require this wavelength for upstream data communications. To solve this potential conflict, Aurora’s RFPON solution transports traditional cable TV services over 1550 nm (downstream) and 1610 nm (upstream). This wavelength selection results in a future-proof solution. The wavelengths 1490 nm and 1310 nm are standard for GEPON implementation.
Enables long-distance route redundancy Solves fiber limitations Solves distance limitations Supports RFoG and EPON Supports AUROS™ DOCSIS® provisioning Mounts on strand or pedestal
CPE Aurora’s RFoG CPEs enable cable operators to extend service offerings over fiber into new residential, business park and multiple-dwelling unit (MDU) markets. This family of CPE devices supports RFoG and standard PON-based applications. Features include: Indoor or outdoor mounting RFoG-only configuration RFoG + PON configuration High-output power versions supporting 32 units in MDUs OBI-free™ solution
