EXTON, PA — CableLabs subsidiary the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) today opened its call for papers for Cable-Tec Expo 2022, which will take place Sept. 19-22 as a hybrid event in Philadelphia.

The theme for this year’s Cable-Tec Expo, which is the largest learning and networking tradeshow in cable telecommunications and technology in the Americas, is “Creating Infinite Possibilities”.

In its call for papers for the Expo’s Fall Technical Forum, SCTE “is seeking subject matter experts in 13 key categories that explore forward-looking technologies and solutions to help power the industry’s 10G platform and move its technical foundation forward,” according to a press release.

Three new categories are being introduced this year: software development, automation and tooling; DevOps and Agile; and artificial intelligence and machine learning. In addition, SCTE is seeking submissions in the following categories: wireline access network; wireless access network; converged networks and mobility; security and privacy; operational transformation; cloud and virtualization; energy management and sustainability on the road to 10G; Internet of things, home networking, smart cities and emerging services; video services; and workforce learning and development.

“Expo 2022 will preview the emerging technologies and applications transforming the industry and reveal what’s next in the evolution of broadband,” said Mark Dzuban, president and CEO of SCTE, in the press release.

“While we’ve hosted very successful virtual events the last two years, we are eager to get back together in-person as an industry and move forward with a hybrid approach for 2022, combining the best elements of an on-site experience with compelling streaming content for those attending virtually from all over the world.”

Cable-Tec Expo 2022 is co-chaired by Comcast Cable president and CEO David Watson and Liberty Global vice-chairman and CEO Michael Fries.
