Quortex AuxCore

Run QAM video operations on your terms.

Quortex AuxCore helps cable operators move to Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) while maintaining operational separation between high-speed data and QAM-based video networks. Video operations teams can continue managing QAM video delivery independently, synchronize configuration with DAA nodes, and protect the value of existing edge infrastructure.

TALK TO AN EXPERT

DAA migration should not force video operations to lose control.

DAA migration blurs video and data operational boundaries.

As the access network evolves, the separation between QAM video and high-speed data operations becomes harder to maintain, making it difficult for specialist video teams to keep independent control over service delivery.

Legacy workflows still need to stay synchronized.

Video controllers, session resource managers, QAM channels, and DAA nodes all need to stay aligned, or teams risk manual coordination and configuration drift.

Reliability remains non-negotiable.

Cable video services depend on stable node control, resilient traffic forwarding, and fast recovery throughout access network modernization.

The foundations that matter.

Maintain operational independence.

Separate video operations from DOCSIS operations.

Use a proven architecture.

Build on trusted VSRM and vDCM foundations.

Integrate across your access ecosystem.

Connect with existing systems and multi-vendor DAA nodes.

QUORTEX AUCORE FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Quortex AuxCore?

Quortex AuxCore is a software-based solution that helps cable operators maintain independent QAM video operations while migrating to Distributed Access Architecture. It combines DAA node control with DEPI forwarding to synchronize video configuration with DAA nodes and carry QAM video traffic across the distributed access network.

Who is AuxCore designed for?

AuxCore is designed for cable multiple system operators that need to evolve toward DOCSIS 3.1 or DOCSIS 4.0 while continuing to operate QAM-based video services reliably and independently from high-speed data operations.

Why is operational separation important?

Many cable operators manage high-speed data and QAM video as separate operational domains. Maintaining this separation helps video teams preserve control over service groups, QAM channels, resource management, and video delivery workflows during access network modernization.

How does AuxCore support Distributed Access Architecture?

AuxCore integrates with video controllers, session resource managers, and DAA nodes. The controller manages node configuration and static pseudowire provisioning, while the traffic engine generates the pseudowires that carry QAM video traffic.

Does AuxCore work with existing QAM video systems?

Yes. AuxCore is designed to operate in QAM-based video systems and can integrate with existing video controllers, external servers, and resource managers using standard interfaces.

What are the main components of AuxCore?

AuxCore includes the AuxCore Controller for DAA node management and pseudowire provisioning, and the vDCM Traffic Engine for generating the L2TPv3 pseudowires that carry video traffic.

Does AuxCore support high availability?

Yes. AuxCore supports high availability and redundancy options for both controller and traffic engine functions, helping operators maintain service continuity and recover quickly during failover scenarios.

Can AuxCore integrate with multi-vendor DAA environments?

Yes. AuxCore is designed for integration across multi-vendor access environments, including RPD and RMD integrations. This helps operators modernize their access network while preserving flexibility in vendor selection.

Which interfaces does AuxCore support?

AuxCore supports interfaces including SNMP, REST, GCP, GQI, and L2TPv3 data plane, depending on the component and deployment model.

How does AuxCore help maximize ROI on existing QAM architecture?

AuxCore helps operators continue using existing QAM video infrastructure at the edge of the network while moving toward DOCSIS 3.1 and DOCSIS 4.0. This allows operators to modernize access architecture without unnecessary disruption to established video operations.
