Hello Everyone.  This is episode 57 of Get Your Tech On, our show on All Things DOCSIS.  I’m Brady Volpe, Founder of The Volpe Firm and Nimble This. John Downey is with me today.  John is CMTS Technical Leader at Cisco Systems, welcome John.  Today we are going to discuss Capacity Challenges Created by COVID -19

I want to plug ZCorum’s latest Tech Tuesday podcast where Rick Yuzzi has a lot of good information on what cable operators should be doing in the midst of COVID-19. I won’t spoil the video, but I do recommend everyone watch it. Some of the points covered by Rick included:

  • what the FCC is recommending to cable operators during COVID-19, 
  • traffic growth numbers many operators are seeing, many of which are in the 90% increase since so many people are working from home and children are out of school doing homework online
  • Drastic WiFi increases and WiFi calling volume increases
  • and much more
