SCTE ISBE LAUNCHES DOCSIS 3.1 INSTALLATION' COURSE

TO ACCELERATE ROLLOUT OF NEW CABLE TELECOM TECHNOLOGY

JUNE 1, 2017 (Exton, PA)-The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and its global arm, the International Society of Broadband Experts (ISBE), today announced the launch of a new online course that is designed to expedite the rollout of high-quality DOCSIS 3.1 installations for cable telecommunications operators.

The DOCSIS 3.1 Installation online course builds on SCTE ISBE's prior DOCSIS training experience to increase technical proficiency for broadband installation professionals by offering background in DOCSIS 3.1, a comparison with previous versions of DOCSIS, and a technical overview of the new specification, as well as an understanding of operational implications, procedures for installation, and methods of troubleshooting.

Modeled after SCTE ISBE's highly successful DOCSIS 3.1 onsite Boot Camp for Engineers-one of three SCTE ISBE Boot Camps to achieve an exceptional Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 66% or higher from course participants-this new course for the field is available as an eight-hour, eight-module online program. DOCSIS 3.1 Installation is targeted toward both independent cable and MSO technical professionals, including: mid- to senior-level data technicians; maintenance and installation technicians; and technical operation (TechOp) managers. Attendees must have DOCSIS experience.

The overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from our onsite Boot Camps underscored the demand for intensified year-round training on DOCSIS 3.1, FTTx, and Wireless, said Reni Gorman, vice president, learning and development for SCTE ISBE. DOCSIS 3.1 Installation' will give our industry's workforce the business, technology, and deployment knowledge they need to maximize the potential of one of cable telecommunications' game-changing technologies.

DOCSIS 3.1 Installation is designed to provide participants with a business and technology overview of the DOCSIS 3.1 specification and a solid foundation in such areas as signal processing, capacity, and upstream and downstream configurations. In addition, the course covers physical and MAC layer modifications; DOCSIS 3.1 operations; proactive network maintenance features; DOCSIS 3.1 installation; and troubleshooting.

More information on DOCSIS 3.1 Installation and registration for the online course are available at http://www.scte.org/docsis. Live instruction may be arranged by contacting SCTE ISBE Learning & Development at profdev@scte.org. More information on SCTE ISBE technical education, training, and certification is available here.
