Introducing BrightPath® – The FTTH Solution That Fits Perfectly Within
Existing HFC Architectures
The BrightPath FTTH system leverages traditional Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC)
architectures, using products that are easy to understand and install, and that
work seamlessly as an extension of an existing HFC network. The BrightPath
system is installed at the same location as HFC equipment in a new build area.
By incorporating a series of taps to manage bi-directional transmissions, signal
levels can be optimized, allowing a node to serve up to 256 homes. The
transmission received at the subscriber location is the same as in other parts
of the HFC network, so all of the customer premise equipment (CPE) is fully
compatible. Additionally, the BrightPath system is transparent to the operator’s
provisioning and management system.

BrightPath is a simple and cost effective fiber-to-the-home
(FTTH) alternative to existing passive optical network
(PON) designs for greenfield applications. The strength
of the architecture is that it can be applied as needed
within a hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) network, leaving the
operator’s current service model intact. Analog and
digital services for video, voice and data match existing
protocols in both the forward and reverse path.
