Trilithic and Communications Technology are presenting a free webcast on taking another look at upstream 64-QAM.

This free webcast shares best practices on this efficient modulation technique by addressing these questions:

• What is the state of deployments?
• What lessons have we learned along the way?
• What worksand what doesn't?
• What does it really take to make upstream 64-QAM work?
• And do so reliably?

Panel:

• Ron Hranac, Technical Leader, Cisco Systems
• Steve Windle, Product Manager, Broadband Instruments, Trilithic
• David Haigh, Lead Engineer, Midcontinent Communications

If IP address space, bandwidth restraints and business services are some critical issues MSO’s are trying to solve, DOCSIS 3.0 has begun to flex its muscle.

We’ll examine the importance of DOCSIS 3.0, how to prepare our networks for the DOCSIS 3.0 integration, DOCSIS 3.0 signal characteristics, testing capabilities, changes, and the evolution of test equipment to support DOCSIS 3.0.

The benefits of integrating DOCSIS 3.0 into the HFC network will be seen over time, so why should MSO’s begin to look at deployment? These questions and more will be discussed in this SCTE Live Learning™ session.

This webinar is intended to teach you effective ways to identify return maintenance issues, conduct maintenance and monitoring.

Trilithic and Communications Technology are presenting a free two-part Webcast series on MER and BER fundamentals. These Webcasts will focus on the how and why behind BER and MER, their differences, how they’re measured, what they’re used for, and also includes an overview of the basics of digital modulation (necessary to understand MER) and vector math. This will be an online version of Ron Hranac’s presentation at Cable-Tec Expo.

Panel:

• Ron Hranac, Technical Leader, Broadband Network Engineering, Cisco Systems
• Steve Windle, Product Manager, Broadband Instruments, Trilithic

Trilithic and Communications Technology are presenting a free Webcast on deploying 64-QAM in the upstream, featuring Cisco Systems' Ron Hranac and Trilithic's Steve Windle and Midcontinent's David Haigh.

What does it take to deploy reliable upstream 64-QAM? This webcast reviews minimum outside plant performance requirements to support this high order modulation. Also featured is an overview of what Midwestern cable operator Midcontinent Communications did to enable problem-free upstream 6.4 MHz bandwidth 64-QAM in one of its systems. The bottom line? It can be done.

Panel:

• Ron Hranac, technical leader, Broadband Network Engineering, Cisco Systems, and senior technology editor, Communications Technology
• Steve Windle, product manager, Instruments Division, Trilithic
• David Haigh, senior RF engineer, Midcontinent Communications
• Jonathan Tombes, Editor of Communications Technology (moderator)

Learn about troubleshooting digitally modulated signals in CT’s most popular webcast to date. While QAM analyzers support a wide-array of sophisticated measurements many of functions on this key piece of test equipment often go unused or are not well understood. Understanding and using QAM analyzers is critical to achieving and maintaining network availability levels that are necessary in effectively deploying advanced digital services on today’s cable networks. This webcast explores examples of both good and impaired digitally modulated signals as well as possible causes of impairments. Gain a better understanding of features commonly available on QAM analyzers, as well as how to use these features to troubleshoot impaired signals.

Panel:

• Ron Hranac, Technical Leader, Broadband Marketing Group, Cisco Systems
• Steve Windle, Product Manager, Trilithic
• Mike Robuck, Associate Editor, Communications Technology (moderator)
