Cable modem termination system (CMTS) and converged cable access platform (CCAP) are systems located in headends or hub sites to provide high-speed internet and video streaming services to cable subscribers. Headends with CMTS systems have been traditionally used in several countries. CMTS mainly focuses on providing high-speed internet; however, for video streaming, it requires Edge QAM. CCAP is more advantageous over CMTS as it can provide high-speed internet and video-streaming services without the requirement of Edge QAM. Edge QAM is a system used by multiple-system operator (MSO) for video streaming functions.
