EXTON, PA – The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) has approved the development of new standards related to stereoscopic 3D for cable, environmental requirements for equipment designed for use within cable facilities, and Emergency Alert System upgrades.
The organization said that the projects are intended to enable operators of all sizes to improve their bottom lines through a combination of new business lines and improved efficiency. Project approval is the first step in the standards process in each of the three areas.
“As the diversity of products available via and within cable has increased, our members have, under the direction of SCTE, aggressively sought to provide the industry with the standards that ensure seamless and cost-effective operations and rollouts of new services,” said Steve Oksala, vice-president of standards for SCTE, in the announcement.
