EXTON, PA – The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and CableLabs have teamed up to present a DOCSIS 3.1 Engineering Pre-Conference Symposium during this year’s SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2013 Conference.
The symposium will be held Oct. 21 and is one of two pre-conference events at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo. The DOCSIS 3.1 symposium will provide engineering and operations professionals with a comprehensive view of DOCSIS 3.1, including: the Downstream Physical Layer; the Downstream Convergence Layer; the Upstream Physical Layer; Upstream Framing onto the PHY; and the MAC Layer.
In addition, the symposium will address preparation of cable networks for the specification and an overview of MSOs’ deployment plans.
“The seamless rollout of DOCSIS 3.1 services will play an important role in the deployment of next generation services,” said Ralph Brown, CTO of CableLabs and a member of the SCTE board of directors, in a release.
“Our partnership with SCTE is designed to provide the cable technical workforce with enhanced understanding of the specification early on in order to accelerate its deployment and maximize its value to the industry.”
SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2013 will be held Oct. 21 to 24 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Both the DOCSIS 3.1 Engineering event and a second symposium, “Creating the Cable Generalist,” will be conducted on Monday, Oct. 21.
