A Framework for Convergence

Dr. Jennifer Andreoli-Fang – For cable operators, mobile is the next frontier. It opens up a whole new market, that transcends traditional franchise boundaries — and with it, new sets of opportunities.

Video Interoperability with IP Video

By Stuart Kurkowski and Joel Derrico – In this article we discuss this end-to-end system at a high-level, identifying technologies and standards that can get us to this exciting new architecture for video interoperability.

Modern Power Panels Bring Simplicity, Capacity and Intelligence

By Timothy Cooke and Jason Charette – When planning a new power supply for a single bay, or many bays, there are several key areas that should be considered.

The Wins of Our Fathers

By Bill O’Donnell – Note in the chart that bandwidth increases will result in substantial attenuation increases requiring operators to change the design of their plant.

The Cable Network, Immersive Experiences and Lightfields

By Andrew Ip and Dhananjay Lal – The SCTE Cable-Tec Expo demonstration was a powerful example of how cable industry partners came together to showcase a novel application that would need an entire ecosystem.

HFC and 5G Backhaul — Two New Friends

By John Chapman – There is more good news regarding specific improvements to DOCSIS for small cell backhaul. The first is the DOCSIS Time Protocol (DTP).

The Cable Operator’s Road to 10G

By Tom Cloonan and David Grubb – it should be clear that operators will have many technologies and many options from which to pick as they migrate forward towards 10G operation in the future.

A Preview of 10G Enabling Technologies

By Kinney Bacon – Cable operators need to start thinking about how they will distribute the 10 Gbps signal through the home network once 10 Gbps technology is available and offered as a service.

The GAP

By Ed Dylag – So, as you can see, the GAP specification will not only provide deployment streamlining through standardization and modularization, but also opens up a whole new group of opportunities to operators.

Preparing for Upstream Upgrades with Legacy CPE

By Dave Wachob – Changing consumer and business needs have greatly increased the need for additional upstream capacity, especially due to recent outbreaks of COVID-19. With the introduction and enhanced capabilities of DOCSIS 3.1, remotely configuring the modems to operate in the mid- (5 MHz to 85 MHz) or high-split (5 MHz to 204 MHz) return bands is relatively straightforward.
