Cisco has announced a DOCSIS licensing plan at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) for its cable operator customers globally that are using the Cisco Converged Broadband Router (cBR-8) platform to deliver high-speed broadband, video and voice services.

IBU licensing is aligned to the number of subscribers across the network, so licence investment is highly aligned to revenues.
“IBU helps cable operators be more competitive and gain subscriber market share,” said Sean Welch, vice president and general manager, Cable Access, Service Provider Business, Cisco. “We have listened carefully to our customers, and with this new offer we have specifically focused on making DOCSIS licensing simple and aligned with their business objectives.”
