 The APEX1000, our next-generation all-purpose edge QAM, provides flexibility, high-availability, high-QAM density, MediaCipher® encryption, and low power in an extremely cost-effective 1 RU platform.
Up to three removable and hot-swappable QAM modules can be installed in the chassis. Each module provides two RF ports, which support up to eight QAM channels each.
Any of the 48 QAM channels available can be used for video on demand (VOD), switched digital video (SDV), broadcast services or DOCSIS high-speed data (through support for the M-CMTS architecture).
