Cable MSOs have a long history of disruptive innovation and leadership in broadband service delivery. From delivering triple-play services (phone, Internet and video) to rolling out Gigabit services nationwide to raising the bar with the launch of 10Gigabit in 2019, Cable MSOs have played a leading role in delivering higher bandwidth as well as compelling services. Now Cable MSOs are increasingly turning towards the open-source community, a proven disrupter in the technology industry, to accelerate innovation and deliver on the next-generation cable network.

Join us for this interactive session featuring leading MSO technologists and thought-leaders in the open source community that covers initiatives across the headend/hub site, outside plant and the connected home. The session includes three panel discussions that cover:

The Role of Open Networking in MSO Broadband Access and Aggregation Networks: Open source standards and initiatives impacting the headend/hubsite and the access network such as:
