Gainspeed

Gainspeed, Inc. was a Sunnyvale, California networking startup that developed a Virtual Converged Cable Access Platform (Virtual CCAP) built on a Distributed Access Architecture (Remote PHY / DAA) for cable multiple-system operators (MSOs). The company was backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and was acquired by Nokia in 2016, after which its virtual CCAP technology was folded into Nokia's cable access portfolio. It was surfaced as an a16z portfolio company and added to the API Evangelist network as a stub. Gainspeed operated no public developer program, API, or live developer portal; its domain no longer resolves.

Gainspeed is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Networking, Telecommunications, Cable, and CCAP.
