How to Deliver QAM Video in a DAA World (Room 208-209)

For most service providers, the shift to IP-delivered video is underway and, simultaneously, many networks are migrating towards a distributed access architecture (DAA). For most service providers, that shift is anything but a flash-cut, and QAM-delivered video still needs proper care and handling. This session details the DAA migration as it relates to QAM-delivered video and explores responses to several key questions such as “What’s the best transition path – R-PHY, or R-MACHPHY?” and “What’s the ideal video core – CCAP or E-QAM?” Technologists representing Vecima Networks and Nokia review the fundamental technologies and review lessons learned from real-world use cases and deployments.
