Charting Cable's Course To IPTV
Bigband Networks
Description
Competitive pressures and changing consumer expectations are spurring cable operators to invest in moving toward IP-based video delivery. In fact, the industry’s next-generation DOCSIS 3.0 technology provides key features for delivering video. But cable modem termination systems (CMTSs) were never designed to deliver TV programming – and pumping tons of video through them can be a costly proposition. Now new approaches are emerging that offload high-bandwidth video traffic to let cable providers move to IPTV more cost-effectively.
