SUMMARY

Utilizing a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) deep fiber architecture overcomes many of the drawbacks associated with traditional HFC architectures. The system is capable of providing enormous amounts of dedicated bandwidth. The architecture is also completely scalable, and
cost-effective when compared with traditional dual-hop HFC architectures. The return path uses a combination of digitization and DWDM to provide segmentation and scalability. Next generation technologies may distribute demodulation presently associated with the CMTS out into the node.

This implies that some of the limitations of the less-than-optimal traditional HFC can be overcome with DWDM deployment into the neighborhood. Assuming that hardware costs will trend down wouldn't this help the cable companies in providing an intermediate solution.
