SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2023 is set to get underway next week in Denver as the industry gathers to discuss and debate critical topics and technology advancements. And they'll be raising a glass or two to celebrate the show's big 40th anniversary.
This year's show will feature a wide range of topics, spanning the evolution of the hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) network, the bigger role passive optical networking (PON) is taking in cable network strategies, the emerging use cases for AI, the increasing importance of cybersecurity, how open radio access network (RAN) technology is intersecting with the cable industry, plus discussion about service and network convergence.
Industry giant John Malone will make a special appearance at Tuesday's general opening session. What packets of wisdom will he drop during his sit-down with Liberty Global CEO Mike Fries?
Ahead of the big event, Light Reading's Jeff Baumgartner, Omdia's Jaimie Lenderman and Heavy Reading's Alan Breznick assemble to preview the show, discuss the key themes and topics they expect to be at the forefront of the event and highlight some items that will be on their respective dance cards.
