DOCSIS 3.1 Roadmap Past, Present and How we Get to 3.1 Jul 16, 2014, 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM EST - Southern California (SoCal) SCTE Chapter Meeting If you are a member of the Southern California SCTE Chapter be sure to catch Brady's presentation on DOCSIS 3.1 today.
Why Software Solutions (SaaS) Should be Getting a Closer Look The cable industry is traditionally a hardware solution focused industry. In a nut shell, there are AMPs, coax and RF signals. Eventually we migrated into hardware and mixed software solutions with SNMP and the emergence of DOCSIS. Today more then ever the cable industry is seeing a larger migration towards software and cloud-based solutions including software defined networks or SDN. I often get the question which is better? Hardware is more embedded and something operators understand, you can hold it in
