- Entra® EN3400 is a compact, multi-services GAP node optimized for multi-dwelling unit (MDU) and enterprise applications, supporting Remote PHY and 10G EPON today
- Designed to support the transition to 50 Gbps PON, DOCSIS® 4.0, and future services over hybrid fiber coax (HFC) up to 4 GHz
Vecima Networks Inc. (VCM: TSX) today announced the launch of its Entra EN3400 Compact Generic Access Platform (GAP) Node, deployed as either a two-port, Remote PHY (R-PHY)-enabled cable access node supporting DOCSIS 4.0 or a two-port All-PON™ node.
In October 2021, Vecima announced the Entra EN9000, the world’s first commercially available GAP node, which is now in broad deployment with a Tier 1 Broadband Service Provider in North America. The EN3400 Compact GAP Node is a future-proof, “Forever Node” with a 4.0 GHz-capable housing supporting the same DOCSIS 3.1 Remote PHY and 10G-EPON modules as the EN9000 today, while seamlessly evolving to XGS-PON, DOCSIS 4.0, NRoC (New Radio over Coax) and future HFC and PON solutions.
Building on the interoperability of the EN9000, its open architecture allows operators to select the best solutions from a variety of vendors, driving down costs and ensuring network agility and scalability. Through future module upgrades for Unified DOCSIS 4.0, the EN3400 is targeting delivery of up to 20 Gbps downstream and 6 Gbps upstream as a Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) cable access node.
In addition, the EN3400 offers flexible power options, including both standard AC power and 60/90V cable powering to support multi-dwelling unit, enterprise, and hospitality applications. This flexibility translates into significant long-term savings and operational efficiency by reducing the need for frequent hardware upgrades or replacements.
“The Entra EN3400 is the latest product from Vecima, building on the success of the original EN9000 GAP Node,” said Ryan Nicometo, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Video & Broadband Solutions. “Designed for 4 GHz, the EN3400 is a high-performance, multi-application solution with a unique form factor suitable for MDU, hospitality, and enterprise deployments long into the future.”
