HFC vs. FTTH, Simplifying the Complex Smart Home, and other reasons Cable Operators should attend ConneXions

This past year, as I have visited with cable operators and attended industry events, like Light Reading’s Cable Next-Gen, NCTC’s The Independent Show, and most recently CableLabs’ Summer Conference, several issues and questions kept surfacing. For example:  

• “When and how should I pivot from incremental HFC network upgrades to an all Fiber-to-the-Home network?” 
• “How can cable operators monetize the complexities of a Smart Home?”
• “Why is having a Software Defined PON solution critical for operators as they move to a distributed access architecture and virtualized network?”

It was these discussions that helped us design sessions and breakouts specifically for cable operators at Calix ConneXions 2018.  

Join us, October 27-30, 2018 for 65+ sessions featuring telecommunications experts and your peers to find out why cable operators around the world chose to work with Calix to offer fiber to both residential and business customers.  

The cable operator schedule includes sessions like:

• Software Defined PON Lights the Way for Cable Operators AXOS based solutions are ideally suited for next generation cable architectures. This is a can’t miss session if you’re considering updating a cable network or exploring the benefits of a software defined networking strategy.
• The Smart Home has Arrived. Your Business Future is Here Building on the glimpse into the future of the subscriber premises that we provided last year, we present the latest updates to the EXOS subscriber experience platform, the Calix Smart Home and Business (CSHB) solution and how to pull ahead of the competition. The future of your business has arrived!
• BSS/OSS Integration: It’s Not as Hard as You Think! New operating systems mean new OSS integrations and operational procedures, but it’s not as hard as you think. This session will provide concrete examples of how you pivot from a DOCSIS back office and reduce this effort to weeks or less.

When you total up all the keynotes, training, breakout sessions and networking opportunities with 2000+ attendees from around the world, and it makes for one of the best events of the year. Check out the agenda and full event details at calixconnexions.com.
