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 network, enabling MSOs of all sizes to not only meet future subscriber demand and fend off competition, but also significantly boost the reliability and operational efficiency of their networks.

Join the ATX webinar Why Next-Gen Nodes & Amps are the ‘Intelligent’ Option for All HFC Networks to gain insight into recent industry events and technology breakthroughs that MSOs need to know before taking the next step in the evolution of their networks. ATX outside plant expert Mike Whitley provides an overview of the new intelligence being built into HFC equipment and the advantages it brings to all MSOs, even those with no current plans to migrate to DOCSIS 4.0.

What you will learn:

• How advances in automation and intelligence in HFC amplifiers and nodes can help MSOs increase the efficiency of their technicians and reduce operational costs
• What the introduction of transponder-based, two-way communications brings to network reliability and overall operational efficiency
• Why upgrading to intelligent outside plant actives will reduce both CapEx and OpEx for MSOs with no current plans to migrate to DOCSIS 4.0
• Why the recent availability of so-called unified silicon technology presents new opportunities for small and mid-sized MSOs
