ANGACOM 2014 Always Worth a Technology Look

2020-04-04T11:45:58-04:00June 4th, 2014|

ANGACOM 2014 in this year was an exciting and well organized convention of international cable operators.  The weather was fantastic, which is really worth mentioning.  The technology in cable is always progressing and this year DOCSIS 3.1 and proactive technologies took center stage. For those of you not familiar, the ANGACOM Cable Show is Europe’s leading Business Platform for Broadband Operators and Content Providers for over 10 years and is hosted annually in Cologne Germany. A general theme on the show floor was the continued progression to the

Reduce Ingress and Egress – Simple is Genius

2022-05-16T15:47:05-04:00May 23rd, 2014|

It's a smart idea that doesn't cost a lot more than a regular splitter and also helps reduce ingress. It's called BarrIER technology by Teleste. BarrIER® technology is an innovative solution for reducing ingress/egress that addresses the complete in-home interconnect domain and solves the problem of maintaining adequate C/N levels. Using BarrIER® will reduce the need for manual maintenance work, greatly reduce operational costs, and incrementally increase service reliability and enhance network performance".

The Future of Test Equipment

2014-03-19T11:54:39-04:00March 19th, 2014|

The Future of Test Equipment and the Role of Proactive Network Maintenance At a recent convention, I had the opportunity to listen to Daniel Howard, CTO of the SCTE, speak about how Comcast is using, Rohde & Schwarz in conjunction with their PNM (Proactive Network Maintenance) Scout Flux system.  This highlights that although PNM is the future of troubleshooting cable plant problems proactively, high-end test equipment will still be needed.  One common thread across the industry that I like to re-iterate is that the cable plant does not
