Train mapping the Journey to 10G

Craig Coogan

The cable access journey to 10G can be made in many ways, all of which end up at the ultimate destination: DOCSIS 4.0 and/or PON. While many operators and vendors are focused on the destination, this presentation showcases the actual journey: how to start, which stops to make, and how to make the most of the journey, all while still getting to the desired 10G destination. So, pack your bags, grab your train map, and all aboard!

Taking Control of OTT Video with Managed ABR

Jim Owens

Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) video unleashed OTT streaming but has unique challenges. It is driven by the independent actions of millions of players, and technologies to manage it are mainly reactive. This presentation will discuss techniques for proactive management of ABR video services utilizing manifest control integrated with existing infrastructure. This proactive, policy-driven approach can create a personalized viewing experience that centrally manages video quality and delivery resources.

Scaling Services in a sustainable manner with the best QoS

Phil Cardy

80%+ of a typical home gateway lifetime CO2 footprint is due to power consumption. We will discuss how home device power consumption can be reduced, monitored, and managed, including giving consumers the ability to control the consumption vs experience trade-offs.

Downsizing POP Locations to Boost up Roll-Out Efficiencies

Alexander Kley & Simon Albert

As subscriber growth continues, operators need more points of presence, but the acquisition of public space in which to install POPs becomes a bottle neck in the network rollout. Reducing the size of the POP also reduces the need for public space. This mini-POP adoption cuts down drastically on the amount of square meters of public space required without sacrificing the benefits of a complete ODF. In this presentation, the speakers will detail the use of mini-POPs in an FTTH rollout for UGG.

Future of Cable and Telco Fiber Access…what Technologies to PONder?

Dave Keane Mirajkar

The future of Cable (DOCSIS) and Telco fiber access will likely continue to evolve with the adoption of Passive Optical Network (PON) technologies. While DOCSIS has traditionally been the go-to technology for Cable providers, the increasing demand for high-speed broadband services has led to the exploration of PON alternatives. PON technologies, such as XGS-PON and NG-PON2, provide faster and more efficient connectivity options for network operators, enabling them to deliver multiple services over a single fiber connection. As a result, PON technologies are likely to play an increasingly important role in the future of Cable and Telco fiber access. In this presentation we will explore the technology options and the fundamental shift to PON.
