System Overview
This section introduces key concepts relevant to installing the Motorola Whole Home IP
Video Network CPE. It describes:
•
The passive optical network (PON) connecting the customer premises to the
headend
•
The Motorola Whole Home IP Video Network that you install at the customer
premises
•
Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA) technology
•
Multi-room DVR
The Motorola Whole Home IP Video Network connects to the fiber-to-the-premises
(FTTP) passive optical network (PON). It uses MoCA technology to provide an integrated
Ethernet, IP, and coaxial radio frequency (RF) network. This network enables the delivery
of services such as interactive video, high-speed data, and IP telephony to residential and
small-business customers using existing RF coaxial cabling.
PON Overview
A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber optic network capable of carrying a high
volume of traffic over a single fiber. The same fiber carries data:
•
Downstream
from the optical line terminator (OLT) at the headend to the optical
network terminator (ONT) at the customer premises
•
Upstream
from the ONT back to the headend (also referred to as the return path)
