The smart home is a market segment that many broadband service providers (SPs) have been eager to capitalize on for a long time. However, as most have found out, the creation of an attractive product and service proposition for the smart home is not an easy task and many challenges remain.

Smart WiFi ensures that fixed-line providers have a crucial role in the smart home market, however there remains competition from the likes of Amazon and Google. Service providers must offer smart Wi-Fi platforms and position Wi-Fi more as a service.

Next-Gen PON enables fixed-line providers to serve more than just the consumer market. Service providers should capitalise on the component, equipment and infrastructure markets to drive new revenues

In the midst of the pandemic, cable operators fulfilled these bandwidth demands in real-time, using centralized-based and tapping into DOCSIS 3.1 capabilities to meet urgent bandwidth capacity demands. With the pressure on the home network lessening and many major cable announcing PON migration plans, The global cable broadband access equipment market will peak at $1 billion in 2024 but begin a slow decline

Discover how telecom service providers can adopt an Open RAN architecture without compromising on security. This whitepaper demonstrates how, by adopting a zero-trust security framework, an Open RAN architecture provides a path to a more secure open networks and open interfaces over what exists today. Despite misconceptions, open interfaces, defined in the O-RAN technical specifications, provide increased independent visibility and the opportunity for an overall enhanced and more secure system.

This e-book examines the impact of COVID-19 on the broadband services and optical industry today. With exclusive content on the challenges faced in the marketplace today, including home broadband becoming the lifeblood of the economy, the technology-focused companies set to benefit, how service providers can respond to fast-changing consumer demands and more.
