4.1

Every CM, regardless of

manufacturer or cable
operator, is provisioned
according to DOCSIS
specifications
Cable operators want to
use the same Operations
and Support Systems
(OSS) with other access
network technologies (i.e.,
EPON)

 Brings the mature systems and business processes of

the DOCSIS OSS to EPON access networks
Enables full vendor/equipment interoperability similar
to CMTS and Cable Modems
Leverages existing technical and customer care
knowledge base, systems, and processes
Developed by MSOs, CableLabs, and vendors
