The SCTE/ISBE says the number of technical abstracts submitted for SCTE-ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2019 has reached a new high of 264 this year.
More than 75 organizations - representing cable operators, technology vendors and other organizations - authored abstracts across 11 categories. Selected submissions will be used to program the Fall Technical Forum, a joint production of the SCTE/ISBE, NCTA and CableLabs. Cable-Tec Expo is scheduled from Sept. 30 through Oct. 3 in New Orleans.
The abstract pool includes topics in the following areas: Wireline Access Networks; Wireless Access Networks; Converging Access Networks; Innovation Across Technologies; Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Analytics; Internet of Things; Cloud & Virtualization; Operational Transformation; Business Services; Video Services; and Security. The Program Committee - co-chaired by Tom Adams, executive vice president of field operations for Charter Communications, and Bill Warga, vice president of technology for Liberty Global - will announce selected abstracts by April 26.
"The proliferation of new technologies - including the industry's evolution to 10G services - is opening up an entirely new era for Cable-Tec Expo workshops," said Chris Bastian, senior vice president, engineering, and CTO of the SCTE/ISBE. "The unprecedented response to our call for abstracts is enabling Tom Adams, Bill Warga and the entire Program Committee to create a robust Expo agenda that positions cable as a technology leader and directly impacts operators' bottom lines."
