DOCSIS 3.1 Webinar Today

Mia Colabrese2020-06-09T10:02:42-04:00February 26th, 2014|

DOCSIS 3.1 Webinar "With some of the DOCSIS 3.1 specifications being published by CableLabs late last year, it's time to start planning for the operational changes at the plant level for deployments, and discuss what type of monitoring tools will be needed. In this live, 60-minute webcast, which is sponsored by VeEX, and hosted by CED, attendees will learn about some of the key operational aspects that need to be looked at ahead of 3.1 deployments. Operation DOCSIS 3.1 Date: February 26, 2014 Time: 11:00 AM ET, 10:00 AM CT, 8:00 AM PT Duration: 60 Minutes

PNM and HFC Readiness for DOCSIS 3.1 – CCTA 2014

Mia Colabrese2021-12-15T10:11:40-05:00February 3rd, 2014|

Daniel Howard, CTO of the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) presented at this years CCTA on "HFC Readiness for DOCSIS 3.1". Daniel had a presentation that couldn't be beet and held the attention of the audience. Key topics he covered were the rapid growth of Internet traffic, cable operator's desire to extend the life of coax cable at least another 20 years, PNM and the realization that 4096-QAM is a reality in the cable plant.

DOCSIS 3.1: Modulation Options and Impacts – Part Two

Mia Colabrese2023-02-17T13:02:40-05:00January 22nd, 2014|

What’s Next for DOCSIS 3.1 Modulation Options and Impacts DOCSIS 3.1 modulation - Many wonder how today’s networks will support high order modulations such as 4096-QAM. There are two technologies in the DOCSIS 3.1 standard that will enable this without requiring changes to existing outside plant. The first is Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). This is a complex word for taking many small QAM channels, like 25 kHz instead of 6 MHz, and placing them very close together. OFDM also has dynamic properties. If you have a block

First-Gen DOCSIS 3.1 Test Solution – SCTE EXPO 2013 – Fresh Tech

Mia Colabrese2023-12-13T11:03:56-05:00November 4th, 2013|

Rohde & Schwarz Demonstrated a First-Gen DOCSIS 3.1 Test Solution Fresh Tech - SCTE Cable-Tec EXPO 2013 Rohde and Schwarz had a popular demo at this years SCTE EXPO and not only was it popular it was innovative since it was the only DOCSIS 3.1 demo on the show floor. Using off-the-shelf equipment R&S demonstrated a first-gen DOCSIS 3.1 test solution. This is a precursor to their eventual delivery of real-time equipment. The demonstration consisted of a signal generator (AFQ100B + SMBV) and signal analyzers (FSW wide-band vector

DOCSIS 3.1: Begin Preparing Now

Mia Colabrese2013-09-12T14:45:51-04:00September 12th, 2013|

DOCSIS 3.1: Begin Preparing Now Posted on September 11, 2013 by Carl Weinschenk-BTR Experts believe that DOCSIS 3.1 is few years off. The specification has not yet been finalized. After that, test and early customer premise equipment (CPE) and corresponding CMTS and CCAP line cards will be sprinkled through systems. The bottom line is that it will be a long time until DOCSIS 3.1 is an element of everyday cable operations. So preparations should start now. The industry has been down this road before. What seems like a long road, with
