DAA

SCTE•ISBE’s Cable-Tec Expo – the biggest cable show of the year – is over and now the hard work of putting all that new knowledge and innovation to work begins. The hot topic most interesting to me were advancements made to ready the network for DAA deployments. From overcoming challenges, to operat…

Like most cable fans, I spent last week down in NOLA at the cable “Superbowl,” cable’s largest show of the year – Cable-Tec Expo. This year’s show theme was, “Raising the Bar on Technology Innovation,” which was so fitting because it echos the scale of solutions and technologies that Cisco is drivin…

This blog was co-authored by Jerome Katz, Cisco VP/GM, SP Customer Experience. Cable’s digital transformation has been focused on the access network transformation. The Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) is poised to lead that transformation. While technology has been standardized and well-…

That’s what subscribers want. More connections. More speed. More apps. And all at the best quality and maximum security. Every waking moment, I am on a quest to help cable operators deliver on those ever-increasing demands, while facing flat capex and flat or declining opex. ANGA COM is one of our b…

Occasionally, when in the middle of a vast and highly complex architectural transition, it makes sense to pull up and survey the situation. This is one of those times. As the trigger, the gathering of like-minded IP technologists present at this week’s ANGA conference, in Cologne; as the situation,…

The countdown is on! Less than two weeks to ANGA COM, Europe’s leading business platform for broadband operators and content providers. Our theme this year is, “Between building a network and unlocking its promise, there’s a bridge.” Because that is exactly what Cisco is doing for our service…

Bandwidth consumption remains on a steady, never-ending rise. Subscribers now value their high-speed data service more than any other, including video. Based on subscriber bandwidth demand, many cable access networks built years ago are reaching their capacity limits – and many have already reached…

Hi there, Morgan here – a new face to some of you; an old face to others. Either way, you’re going to be seeing a lot of me, both at the Cable-Tec Expo next week, and in general. Why, because I’m happy and grateful to be picking up the reins as VP of Cable and Media from my friend and colleague, Mar…

Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) is the most significant cable network architecture evolution of the last 20 years. Not since the introduction of digital fiber optic backbones and hybrid fiber coax (HFC) technology has there been such a dramatic architectural change. This is an exciting time fo…
