ABOUT CABLE NEXT-GEN 2018
MARKET INFORMATION
This is both an exciting and anxious time for the cable industry. It's an anxious time because consumers are ditching their pay-TV services for rival OTT fare in record numbers while demanding faster broadband speeds and better service from their wireline providers. As a result, cable operators and programmers are under mounting pressure to overhaul both their legacy service delivery networks and their traditional business models as quickly as possible without disrupting their existing offerings.
It's also an exciting time because unprecedented technological advances are rapidly enabling cable operators and programmers to carry out the changes they need to make. With new technologies like Full Duplex DOCSIS, Distributed Access Architecture, coherent optics, SDN, NFV, LoRa, cloud-based video, 5G and others all either available now or coming down the pike soon, cable engineers see plenty of promise for the future.
WHY NOW?
Back by popular demand for its 11th consecutive year, Cable Next-Gen Technologies & Strategies is a two-day live event that will tackle both the opportunities and challenges facing the cable industry and broker a conversation about what the industry's next steps should be.
Leading cable and OTT executives will discuss the industry's latest technological thrusts, the strategies behind them and the hurdles in front of them. In the process, conference speakers will stimulate a dialogue about how to keep cable in line with market trends and ahead of the competition.
ROADMAPS & BUSINESS CASES
Cable Next-Gen Technologies & Strategies lays out the technology roadmaps and business cases for the cable industry over the next few years. The event takes a comprehensive, big-picture look at cable's efforts to develop, deploy and monetize new technologies, products, services, features and apps.
