AQ1000 Series 1RU Universal Edge QAM Modulator supports 2/4 QAM Modules in full configuration. Each module has 6 RF ports with 4 QAM channels per port, for a total of 48 or 96QAM (8MHz) channels in a one rack unit chassis. With the unique ability to perform high density QAM modulation, the AQ1000 allows cable operators to deliver more digital video services today and to make a smooth migration to next generation architectures, enabling the delivery of on demand Video and advanced Data services.
