Arris C4 vs. Cisco uBR10K

Hi,

we have a few Arris C4, but in this new espansion, we find very good prices for Cisco uBR10K with PRE4 and MC20x20 RF Cards,
does anyone have both, to tell me the pros and cons of Cisco compare with Arris C4? We are using for VOICE, the DxQOS od C4
to create the separeted flows to voice, the Cisco (at the datasheet) tells that works the same, but i have doubts.

Thanks for your help,

best regards,
Decio Feijo

You should look at Casa Systems CMTS products. There are card port density options significantly higher than Cisco at a better price.

Have you recently looked at Casa? We (I work for them,) have a partner setup for support in Brazil. You can send me an email to the following generic account if you would like more infomation. From that email I'll respond from my Casa account.

Motorola's been in Brazil a long time and the largest mso uses them.
Just a thought

Hi,

do you need N+1 Redundancy? So please notice you need an external RF-Switch by Cisco CMTS.

One of ours customer recently changed his C4 to some CASA CMTS and he said to me that there are some limits of max flows/classifiers on C4 and weak D3.0 implementation compares to CASA. Other ours customer run more then 10k CM / 4k MTA on one CISCO 10k without any problem.
