SCTE® LiveLearning for Professionals Webinar™ Series: Fighting Fiber with Fiber

Date: Thursday, October 19, 2023, 11:00 a.m. New York / 4:00 p.m. London

Register for the October 2023 LiveLearning

Even as they prep for DOCSIS 4.0 and other HFC plant upgrades, cable operators are rapidly installing more fiber lines to expand bandwidth capacity, offer faster data speeds, launch new services, slash operating costs and compete with fiber-happy rivals like AT&T and Verizon. Yet, even as they invest more heavily in fiber, cablecos face critical questions about their upgrade strategies, their timing and the costs involved. This webinar will explore cable's embrace of fiber builds, the opportunities that more fiber enables and the deployment, testing, operational and other challenges that it presents for the industry.

SCTE® LiveLearning for Professionals Webinar™ Series: Priming the Pump for Next-Gen PON

Date: Thursday, November 16, 2023, 11:00 a.m. New York / 4:00 p.m. London

Register for the November 2023 LiveLearning

While the cable industry maintains its love affair with DOCSIS, it is increasingly finding room in its heart for PON as well. As operators add more fiber lines to their legacy HFC plant, or in some cases even overbuild their old plant with fiber networks, they are turning more and more to GPON, EPON and XGS-PON technology to expand their bandwidth capacity and deliver faster data speeds and other more advanced services. How is cable's evolution to fiber and next-gen versions of PON going? What speed bumps is the industry hitting? How can cablecos mix and match DOCSIS and PON services? This webinar will address these questions and more.

SCTE® LiveLearning for Professionals Webinar™ Series: Going to 10G and Beyond

Date: Thursday, December 14, 2023, 11:00 a.m. New York / 4:00 p.m. London

Register for the December 2023 LiveLearning

As another busy year of technology development winds down, the cable industry is now starting to deliver on its promise to offer multi-gig speeds to subscribers over its legacy HFC network. Leading MSOs like Comcast and Altice USA are rolling our 2 Gig and faster service, lab and field trials of both flavors of DOCSIS 4.0 are moving forward and vendors are developing the relevant equipment and software to support the higher speeds and greater bandwidth demands. What comes next in the 10G evolution? What will the new year bring for cable's 10G quest? What challenges must still be overcome? In this year-end session, we will look at where cable stands nearly five years into the 10G era.
