CABLE-TEC EXPO ABSTRACT COUNT HITS 260 MARK FOR SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR
New Market Opportunities Fuel Interest in Technical Sessions at October Event
APRIL 18, 2018 (Exton, PA)-The expansion of cable telecommunications into new markets has driven the number of technical abstracts for SCTE-ISBE Cable-Tec Expo to the 260 level for the second straight year, the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and its global arm, the International Society of Broadband Experts (ISBE), announced today.
More than 80 organizations-representing cable operators, technology vendors and other organizations-authored abstracts across a most-ever10 categories, underscoring Expo's increasing role as a pivot of innovation, thought leadership and applied science. Selected submissions will be used to program the Fall Technical Forum-a joint production of SCTE ISBE, NCTA and CableLabs -as well as content in the Innovation Theater in the exhibit hall.
New technologies have sparked creative thinking that benefits consumers and businesses with innovative products and a better customer experience, said Kevin Hart, Executive Vice President and Chief Product and Technology Officer for Cox Communications and Chair of the Cable-Tec Expo 2018 Program Committee. The willingness of our best and brightest technology professionals to share their visions at Expo will help the industry to increase network and product performance and achieve new levels of customer satisfaction.
The abstract pool includes topics in the following areas: Wireline Access Network; Wireless Access Network; Internet of Things; Digitizing the Customer Experience; Cloud & Virtualization; Operational Transformation; Business Services; Video Services; Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality; and Security. The Program Committee will announce selected abstracts by Monday, April 30, 2018.
Cable's Organization Review Committee last year emphasized the continued value of SCTE ISBE and Cable-Tec Expo to the industry, said Chris Bastian, Senior Vice President, Engineering and CTO of SCTE ISBE. We believe that the continued strong interest in the technical abstract process further underscores the importance of SCTE ISBE and Expo as hubs for standards, operational practices and learning and development that can impact operators' bottom lines.
Scheduled from Monday, Oct. 22 through Thursday, Oct. 25 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, SCTE ISBE Cable-Tec Expo is renowned as the pre-eminent venue that combines the thought leadership, engineering innovation, and deal-making that power the technological future of broadband telecommunications. As a nexus for content and service providers, technology partners, and industry experts, Cable-Tec Expo provides rich insights into technologies, products, and services that can generate revenue, streamline operations, and increase customer satisfaction.
In addition to learned presentations and technology-centric exhibits, Cable-Tec Expo features valuable learning, peer-to-peer interaction, and networking opportunities that are designed to prepare the technology workforce for the advent of future products and services. Cable TV Pioneers will conduct its annual banquet in conjunction with Cable-Tec Expo, on Monday, Oct. 22.
Registration, attendance, exhibit, and sponsorship/advertisement information about SCTE ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2018 is expected soon at http://expo.scte.org.
