Why Next-Gen Nodes & Amps are the ‘Intelligent’ Option for All HFC Networks
Small and mid-sized MSOs are at a critical crossroads in the evolution of their HFC networks, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of upgrading their DOCSIS-based infrastructures against accelerating the transition to PON. Extremely relevant to that decision is the recent availability of next-generation outside plant equipment that brings new levels of intelligence to the HFC [...]

Finding Your Next-Gen Node Platform
Not all nodes are created equal. Not all nodes are created equal. Many in your current HFC networks were designed decades ago, originally optimized for spectrum below 1GHz. With MSOs now requiring HFC nodes that can handle spectrum of 1.2GHz or even 1.8GHz, as well as support a transition to Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) and [...]

The 2050 Project Survey Results & Analysis – 2024 Edition
Charting the HFC Network Evolution Close to half (42%) of the cable professionals participating in the 2024 edition of ATX’s 2050 Project Survey say the recent introduction of technology that extends the downstream capacity of DOCSIS 3.1 architectures has prompted them to reevaluate their DOCSIS 4.0 adoption plans and timetables. That’s just one of more [...]

Optimizing Channel Insertion for an IP World
The transition of video to IP is imposing disruptions to MDUs and other shared-living environments that rely on informational or communications channels inserted into television lineups. That’s because most of the equipment currently providing channel insertion capabilities for commercial accounts is incapable of working with an IP-based video delivery infrastructure. This webcast from ATX, which [...]

Workforce Replenishment: How MSOs can Overcome Labor Shortage Challenges
An already acute shortage of skilled technicians will only worsen when states start doling out $42.5 billion in Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) funding in the next couple of years. That’s why in 2022 ATX introduced its Field Personnel Replenishment Program (FPRP), a hands-on training initiative with a mission to supply the cable industry [...]

The 2050 Project Survey Results & Analysis: 2023 Edition
A little more than 30 years ago, MSOs installed the first fiber nodes in the cable access plant, marking the launch of the Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC) network, which would evolve over the next three decades into what is currently the world’s most robust, resilient and agile infrastructure for the delivery of broadband services. In 2020, [...]

Reducing Cost and Complexity of Broadband-Enabling Rural Communities
The incentives for extending broadband services to rural communities have never been more compelling. In addition to tens of billions of dollars in public financing being made available over the next few years to broadband-enable unserved or underserved communities, cable operators and other service providers now recognize that remotely located homes and businesses represent new [...]

Handling Legacy QAM Video in a DAA World
Even after migrating to a distributed architecture, most cable operators will still need to support legacy QAM video – at least until they’ve fully upgraded customer-premises equipment to IP. While early DAA adopters tended to focus on an integrated Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) to handle both DOCSIS® and QAM video traffic, MSOs now have [...]
