Securing Europe’s Cable Future

article
Since the very first network roll-outs, cable operators have proved their capability to closely follow market developments: every time that the network capabilities started falling back on consumer requirements, the networks were successfully upgraded. As such, operators are familiar with upgrades, considering network upgrades as part of the business. Currently, a large palette of evolutionary solutions for capacity expansion and capacity saving is being developed and introduced, such as Universal EdgeQAMs, Switched Digital TV, H.264 coding and DOCSIS 3.0 whereas new solutions like DVB-C2 are progressing well. As in the past, operators will implement these technologies to prepare their networks for continued competition from DSL networks.
