Principal Architect CableLabs Louisville, Colorado, United States
The cable industry has integrated fiber technology into its infrastructure since the early 1980s, and has been deploying FTTP (Fiber-to-the-Premises) networks for over two decades. This shift has led to significant advancements in network performance, merging the capabilities of both fiber and cable systems.
This presentation will probe the current FTTP ecosystem, exploring the latest advancements and challenges. It will also showcase the initiatives underway at CableLabs to bolster FTTP adoption among cable broadband operators. These initiatives focus on creating the next generation of PON and an interoperable and scalable FTTP ecosystem that parallels the maturity and reliability of DOCSIS networks.
