Where VISN is headed
Picture Vistance in late 2027. Ruckus is gone, sold to Belden for $1.846 billion in cash. What remains is Aurora Networks, the company that quietly supplies the guts of every major North American cable operator's DOCSIS 4.0 upgrade cycle. Comcast, Charter, Cox and Rogers are mid-build on multi-gigabit symmetric services, and Aurora's cable modem termination systems, virtual CMTS software and distributed access architecture nodes are the components those builds run on. Revenue from the standalone Aurora business runs roughly $1.4-1.6B with mid-teens EBITDA margins, the balance sheet carries net cash rather than the debt millstone that defined the old CommScope, and free cash flow conversion looks completely different to anything this company has produced in a decade.
