Unify All Subscriber Services in the Home
Combine all voice, video, and data services in the home and lower your capital and operating expenses. The Cisco Videoscape Unified Gateway 1000 Series helps customers share new experiences across all their screens with a single subscriber hardware platform.
Features and Capabilities
The Cisco Videoscape Unified Gateway 1000 Series unifies all your subscribers' service-provider home devices—set-top boxes, data and voice modems, and more—into a single network. Subscribers can:
- Share data and video across all their screens
- Enable new video services such as pausing on one device and resuming on another
With the Cisco Videoscape Unified Gateway 1000 Series, you can optimize your network investment with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)-to-IP capabilities. You can reuse existing QAM channels to efficiently stream live video to unmanaged devices.
This product also helps you:
- Reduce capital expenses by deploying more economical IP set-top boxes instead of QAM hardware
- Cut operational expenses by using IP video delivery and techniques such as IP multicast to improve efficiency
- Increase subscriber loyalty with new features such as DVR services on all video devices in the home
- Lower costs by remotely managing and troubleshooting problems in home networks instead of sending out technicians
- Increase revenue with an open software framework for future services such as home automation, home security, and remote healthcare
Together, these benefits reduce TCO per subscriber per year.
