Project Purpose: The CBSS over Fiber project is an effort to extend the CBSS service Surveillance & Detection to customers that are served by CFI Active-E and GPON transport.  

Change occurring from this deployment:

Primary Benefit(s) of this launch: This effort will be a key factor in Cox Business service interoperability efforts (managed by interoperability product team) and assist with CB Sales Transformation in the future.

Other Information and/or What’s Next: The project will be run in several phases - 

Phase 1: CBSS over CFI GPON and CBSS over CFI Active-E – Over the Top (OTT) – must be an existing CFI customer

Phase 2: CPE Consolidation Phase 2 (CFI and CBSS on one Gateway using Service Flows) (managed by interoperability product team)

Phase 3: CBSS over XGSPON (managed by interoperability product team)

Request of LRC: The team is seeking approval to start Market Launches for Customers in the CBSS markets with CFI Active-E or CFI GPON to install CBSS over Fiber in licensed franchise areas only.
