SCTE Chapter Technical Training

Inlande Empire Chapter Prepping Cable Networks for 10g

May 25, 2023

The Inland Empire SCTE Chapter will conduct monthly training for May 2023 on Tuesday 5/23 and Thursday 5/25. This month we will be utilizing a pre-recorded session from the SCTE Live Learnings “Prepping Cable Networks for 10g” . As a chapter we will utilize both WebEx Teams and Microsoft TEAMS to host this training Virtually. If you are interested in participating, please connect with the POC below based on your preferred platform for this virtual event.

Facing the prospect of competition from 5G-enabled broadband services, the cable industry is ardently pursuing an ambitious 10G (as in 10 Gbps) initiative to develop its multi-gigabit broadband prowess over a mix of HFC, fiber and wireless networks. But, even with the release of CableLabs' new DOCSIS 4.0 spec last year, it's not clear that the industry is ready to make that next great leap to symmetrical 10 Gbps service. What will it take for cable's HFC networks to get there? What hurdles must still be surmounted?

In this session, our team of technologists will evaluate the readiness, resilience, and reliability of cable networks for 10G service.
