Harmonic NSG 9000
The Harmonic NSG (Network Services Gateway) 9000 is a universal high-density Edge QAM system that supports multiple applications and delivers up to 72 QAM-RF output streams.
About
The number of delivered transport streams depends on the device configuration and the number of QAM-RF modules mounted in the slots of the device.
Each QAM may serve a different application, allowing a single device to concurrently support multiple applications.
