Profile Management Application
Unlock More OV Advanced PMA Bandwidth Without New Infrastructure.
OV Advanced PMA™ is a closed-loop, automated solution that dynamically creates bandwidth without human intervention — delivering virtual node splits and opening up usable capacity on your existing DOCSIS 3.1 and future 4.0 networks.
CapEx Savings
Deliver optimal OFDM/OFDMA profiles without line drops or network build-out costs
OpEx Savings
All configurations implemented automatically — fewer truck rolls, less engineer time
Top Line Growth
Greater bandwidth creates capacity to upgrade subscribers to higher plans — more ARPU.
40% Capacity Increase
Over baseline configurations — upstream and downstream
The Challenge
Your DOCSIS 3.1 investment isn’t delivering its full potential.
Most operators rely on baseline OFDM/OFDMA configurations that leave significant bandwidth on the table. Without dynamic profile management, you’re building capacity you can’t fully use and impact subscriber QoE.
Stranded Bandwidth
Baseline OFDM configurations leave capacity unused — preventing you from offering faster plans without additional infrastructure.
Premature Node Splits
Without dynamic capacity management, operators invest in node splits before exhausting existing network potential.
Manual Profile Management
Static, manually configured modulation profiles can’t adapt to real-world plant conditions — leaving performance gains unrealized.
Over-Subscription Risk
Without visibility into true available capacity, operators face over-subscription concerns that prevent offering higher-tier plans.
LTE & Interference Blind Spots
LTE ingresses, suck-outs, and roll-offs degrade OFDM channel performance — without automated detection, they go unaddressed.
Underutilized DOCSIS 3.1 ROI
Without OV Advanced PMA, operators leave the modulation flexibility DOCSIS 3.1 was designed to provide sitting on the table.
How It Works
Observe, Optimize, Automate.
OV Advanced PMA continuously learns the state of your network and creates per-subcarrier profiles tailored to each OFDM/OFDMA channel — solving in milliseconds what would take engineers hours if not days to configure manually.
01
Learn
Persistent analysis of RxMER, FEC, and CMTS topology data from every CM and CMTS learns the current state of each OFDM/OFDMA channel — including changing plant conditions in real time.
02
Optimize
Creates tailored per-subcarrier profiles — evaluating ~1057,000 combinations per channel, solved in milliseconds. Proactively alerts on LTE ingresses, suck-outs, and roll-offs.
03
Deploy
Configurations determined and implemented automatically — no human intervention. Measures and displays bandwidth gain per channel, CMTS, and system-wide with every cycle.
What It Delivers
CapEx savings. OpEx savings. Top-line growth.
OV Advanced PMA delivers financial benefits across every dimension — simultaneously — without adding hardware or requiring manual engineering effort.
CapEx Savings
Defer Node Splits
Automatically deliver the optimal set of OFDM/OFDMA profiles — improving bandwidth by up to 40% without the expense of line drops, node splits, or other network build-out costs.
OpEx Savings
Eliminate Manual Work
All configurations are determined and implemented automatically and remotely — less engineer time, fewer QoE-related care contacts, less technician installation time, and fewer truck rolls.
Top Line Growth
Upgrade & Grow ARPU
Greater bandwidth creates the capacity headroom to upgrade subscribers to higher speed plans on existing infrastructure — generating greater ARPU without over-subscription risk.
Platform Capabilities
Built for DOCSIS 3.1, and 4.0, optimization at scale.
Every feature designed to maximize bandwidth availability and minimize time engineers spend on manual configuration.
Per-Subcarrier Profile Creation
Creates tailored profile sets for each OFDM/OFDMA channel — evaluating ~1057,000 combinations per channel and solving in milliseconds. No manual profile configuration required.
Bandwidth Gain Measurement
Measures and displays percentage bandwidth gain each cycle on a per-channel, per-CMTS, and system-wide basis — continuous ROI visibility from day one.
Proactive Interference Alerts
Automatically detects and alerts on LTE ingresses, suck-outs, roll-offs, and other interference patterns before they affect subscriber experience.
