What Does the Future Hold for the Cable Industry?
It’s been five years since the cable industry boldly set its sights on 10G, aiming to revolutionize hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) networks by achieving 10 Gbps speeds. Today, we stand on the cusp of realizing this monumental goal, marking a pivotal moment in our journey towards unparalleled connectivity. Join Team Digicomm and Light Reading at the upcoming Cable Next-Gen Technologies & Strategies event to explore the latest technologies and strategies for keeping HFC networks ahead of the curve.
Tackling the Middle Mile
A highlight of this year’s event is Panel III – Tackling the Middle Mile, featuring our very own Systems Architect IV, John McKeon. With over 40 years of experience in the industry, John brings a wealth of knowledge, insight, and innovation to this panel discussion. His expertise spans across the entire spectrum of the cable industry, from operations to customer-specific designs and technology education. John’s focus on the middle mile – a critical segment connecting access to the core network – positions him as a leading voice in addressing the challenges and opportunities this area presents.
Middle mile, the crucial link between our homes’ internet connections and the core network, is undergoing a transformation. With the surge in demand for consumer broadband, enterprise services, and the expansion of 5G, it’s clear we need more robust infrastructure. The U.S. government’s BEAD allocation of $1 billion in middle mile subsidies highlights its significance, yet the need extends far beyond rural areas to the very heart of our next-gen networks.
John will dive into how the middle mile must evolve to support the latest in access network technologies, including DOCSIS 4.0, PON, FWA, and mobile 5G-Advanced. His approach, always putting the customer first, has led to the creation of groundbreaking solutions that not only meet today’s needs but pave the way for tomorrow’s innovations. Whether you’re deeply entrenched in the world of cable or interested in learning about the latest broadband technologies, this session is for you!
