But if you want this e ciency, it’s going to cost you a lot of money and require signi cant resources to deploy.
For this reason, most cable operators have chosen to implement a more systematic migration strategy as they move the network from DOCSIS 3.0 to CCAP.
“ is increase in capacity and speed as a result of the technology advancements in the cable operator network will have the ability to add performance and options for Uni ed Communications applications,” says Jay VanOrden, CEO of Worldwide Supply.

is strategy aligns revenues in speci c markets with expenditures and creates a more manageable resource utilization plan.
In business since 2004, Worldwide Supply specializes in partnering with cable operators by providing CCAP network consulting and infrastructure removal, recon guration, redeployment and support of DOCSIS 3.0 equipment.
CCAP Customer Case Study
A U.S. national Tier 1 cable operator worked with our team of engineers and technicians to oversee and implement its CCAP preparation.
Worldwide Supply conducted on-site visits to 150 locations nationwide over a period of three years in order to:
● Remove CMTS, Video, and Core Routing inventory
● Recon gure CMTS and Core Routing ● Redeploy CMTS
● Monetize DOCIS 3.0 by reselling their
surplus infrastructure and returning millions of dollars to the client
● Q&A Checklist for your successful CCAP deployment
Here are ve key points to consider, primarily focused on cost savings:
● What markets are the best candidates for CCAP?
● What resources are needed for CCAP deployment?
● How will I continue to support my legacy DOCSIS 3.0 markets?
● Is there an opportunity to redeploy my displaced DOCSIS 3.0 infrastructure?
● Is it possible to monetize my displaced DOCSIS 3.0 infrastructure?

In reality, mobile network testing is a complex undertaking that can su er from a lack of transparency. is can result in a confusing message to other carriers, analysts and even consumers that want a clear picture of their network’s performance.
