IT SOLUTIONS, ADVANCED BROADBAND NETWORK STRATEGIES HIGHLIGHT WORKSHOPS SET FOR SCTE CABLE-TEC EXPO
Physical Layer, IP Networking, Quality Assurance and Advanced Services Sessions on Tap
JULY 10, 2013 (Exton, PA) IT solutions that unlock new opportunities for cable, as well as other advanced strategies for optimizing performance, efficiency and versatility of broadband networks, will highlight the workshops agenda at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2013 this fall, the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) announced today.
Workshops on "Big Data," cloud-based architectures and services, and IPv6 are among the nearly two dozen sessions, each featuring multiple presentations by subject matter experts, that are scheduled during the four-day conference. The workshops and two pre-conference symposia "DOCSIS 3.1 Engineering" and "Creating the Cable Generalist" all will be conducted Monday through Thursday, Oct. 21-24 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
The workshop agenda, which has been designed to address areas that can drive current and future growth for the industry, will focus on four key areas for cable engineering and IT professionals: the Physical Layer; IP Networking; Quality Assurance; and Advanced Services. The agenda has been programmed by a committee chaired by Kevin Hart, executive vice president and CTO, Cox Communications.
"Kevin Hart has been among the leading figures in understanding how IT expertise can significantly increase the capabilities of today's broadband networks," said Daniel Howard, senior vice president, engineering and CTO of SCTE. "Working together with the Program Committee, he has created an SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2013 workshops agenda that will accelerate deployment of information technologies and solutions that can increase cable's competitiveness in the future. The Creating the Cable Generalist' symposium will be particularly useful to IT professionals who have joined the cable industry, and who need to understand the entire cable network and the services we deliver over it."
Among the IT issues that will be discussed in the Expo workshops are: strategies for ingesting and interpreting the massive volumes of data flowing through cable network systems; the challenges and opportunities of cloud-based storage and playback; and best practices for the deployment of IPv6. In addition, the Expo workshops will address such topics as:
The evolution and optimization of existing broadband networks, including DOCSIS 3.1, EPON over Coax (EPoC) and other technologies;
Techniques for proactively monitoring today's networks, as well as monitoring of DOCSIS 3.1 OFDM signals and other new methods for determining network performance and predicting service disruptions;
Identifying and implementing engineering approaches for monetizing TV Everywhere and expediting migrations to 4K UHD and HEVC; and
STB energy conservation, outside plant management and network monitoring as components of a comprehensive energy approach for the industry.
More information on the Expo workshops is available at expo.scte.org/conference-program/workshop-sessions.
SCTE Cable-Tec Expo is the leading venue for helping the cable telecommunications industry and its workforce to reduce costs, deploy new services and increase customer satisfaction. SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2013 will offer a wide variety of learning events and demonstrations, as well as peer-to-peer interaction and networking.
