PNM - Proactive Network Maintenance CableLabs Booth - SCTE EXPO 2013 - Fresh Tech The PNM demonstration in the CableLabs booth was very popular at this years SCTE EXPO as was Armstrong and Comcast.

Mia Colabrese2013-11-06T09:00:16-05:00November 6th, 2013|

Cisco's New CMTS and Nodes SCTE EXPO 2013 - Fresh Tech Feeling special having been invited into the "whisper suit" at CISCO's booth to get a first look at Cisco's new CMTS and Node. No one was permitted to take photo's so my description will have to be enough. Cisco has gotten completely out of their normal box for their new CMTS. It is much smaller than the traditional 10k. It's also much quieter than the 10k. It also looks cool. Those are the small things... What really

Cable App for iPad and Android SCTE Cable-Tec EXPO 2013 At this years SCTE EXPO I again walked the show floor looking for innovative and cool technology that equipment vendors were showing. This years Expo had some great new products, one I'll be highlighting in this article, which is a cable app for iPad and Android devices by 4Cable.tv.
