It’s just about a month away and the industry is already abuzz about one of the world’s leading shows for broadband, cable, and satellite – ANGA COM. Thought leaders in broadband, gigabit networks, DOCSIS 3.1, DAA, WiFi, FTTx, IoT, Big Data, and more will gather to share what’s on the horizon for these cutting-edge technologies […]
Orthogonal frequency domain multiplexing (OFDM) and the profiles it creates can boost the speed and throughput of DOCSIS 3.1 to levels that rival fiber. But what building blocks make up OFDM and why are they important? One of the interesting aspects of DOCSIS 3.1 is its backwards compatibility with DOCSIS 3.0. The good news is […]
Cable providers have spent years trying to solve a dilemma: “Do we spend money to completely upgrade the plant or do we make due with incremental improvements to our existing plant?” Fiber is able to transport more data at higher speeds than cable, but completely replacing a cable network with fiber is cost prohibitive. Until […]
In a recent webinar with Light Reading, we asked 264 participants to tell us what they saw as the biggest challenge in deploying DOCSIS 3.1. Here’s what they told us: Are you worried about these issues too? Wondering where to start? The webinar, DOCSIS 3.1 Testing: What Matters Most, can help you start addressing some […]
