Cisco Systems Inc. will launch a converged cable access platform to enable cable operators offer download speeds of one gigabit a second or more.

Cisco’s new cBR-8 system comes at a time when its rivals such as Arris Group Inc and Casa Systems Inc have started a new class of equipment that can deliver both video programing and broadband access to subscribers.

The new system will “enable cable operators to achieve savings that could exceed 40 percent of capital and operating expenses over five years,” Cisco said in a statement.
