EXTON, PA – Some of cable technology’s most notable thought leaders are scheduled to headline the Technology Leadership Roundtable at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo held October 20 in New Orleans next month.
Steve Reynolds, SVP customer premise equipment and home networking for Comcast; Jay Rolls, SVP technology for Cox; Mike Hayashi, EVP architecture, development, and engineering for Time Warner Cable; and John Chapman, Cisco Fellow, will discuss how cable network evolution can keep pace with the needs of the ‘digital consumer’.
The panel, which will be moderated by technology journalist Leslie Ellis, will explore the impact of Internet Protocol technology on the cable landscape and how operators can migrate traditional linear and on-demand video to IP for unified presentation to subscribers. An engineering session will be held earlier in the session that will address ways that cable can enable content to be delivered to a wide range of devices in the networked home.
“Cable operators, programmers, and vendors alike are being immersed in a new world in which the digital consumer can communicate, work, manage, and play from any device in any location,” said Cox’s Rolls, who is also chairman of the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2010 Program Committee. “Our goal for the Opening Session – and, indeed, for Cable-Tec Expo in general – is for the industry’s technologists to leave the show with more clearly defined options that can help them to address those needs on a scale of millions of customers.”
The cable telecommunications industry’s largest engineering show, Cable-Tec Expo is scheduled for October 20 – 22 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. The theme of this year’s Expo is “Playing Cable’s Technology Tune,” reflecting the ability of cable networks to provide compelling and diverse services to the customer.
