SUMMARY:FFB Week 45 - The Broadband Boom: Meeting Talent Challenges with Success
DESCRIPTION:As the drive to connect more and more subscribers with high speed Broadband continues\, and new consumer applications require more speed\, the industry is moving beyond one gig to multi-gig functionality. Fiber providers have a very elegant and simple path to transition from GPON to 10 Gigabits per second XGS-PON functionality. Cable operators\, having delivered one gig downstream with DOCSIS 3.1\, are now working diligently to provide multi gig functionality with their DOCSIS 4.0 upgrade program. This webinar will examine the status and expected timing of the DOCSIS 4.0 rollout\, and the relative economics of deployment for both existing and new network footprints. The disparate ways that fiber and cable operators currently compete will also be examined. Finally\, the importance and potential timing of high capacity upstream applications will be examined. \nWebinar Guest Presenter: Paul Connolly\, Telecom and Networks Practice Leader\, Entropy\, Inc. \nMr. Connolly is an expert in telecom\, cable\, and media networks with a distinguished executive background at NorTel\, Scientific-Atlanta and Cisco. He has led design and technology implementations for major companies in broadband networks\, and served as partner for fiber projects with AT&T and Verizon. His expertise also extends to media giants such as HBO\, Viacom and Disney. Mr. Connolly‘s insights and reports contribute to profitable industry growth. In addition to managing his consulting business\, Connolly Network Insight\, LLC\, he leads Entropy’s Telecom and Networks practice with his vast expertise across various ventures in the technology and media landscape. Mr. Connolly has received a Presidential Points of Light Award for his work with the Boys and Girls Club. \n  \n		\n					\n				Register Now
