Revolution in HFC Networks

Event type: Panel

Room number: 515A

Organizer: Marek Hajduczenia; ZTE Corp, China


Description:

Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) networks are undergoing a series of revolutionary changes with the coax transport media being augmented by passive point-to-point and point-to-multipoint fiber access. Techno-economic conditions in brown and green-field scenarios are so diverse that a one-size fits all deployment approach is simply not possible. The mix of commercial and residential services in addition to the varied demand for a wide portfolio of services and their performance objectives for each, local construction constraints as well as spending targets for operators creates a very dynamic and challenging environment for any access technology. During this panel, we will put various HFC technologies into spotlight, examining their place in the ever evolving MSO environment, presenting the practical side of the optical networking rarely seen at OFC.
