        Whether they are pursing DOCSIS over HFC or PON over FTTP, European cable operators are busily upgrading their access networks for multi-gigabit broadband, IP video and next-gen mobile services like 5G. Cablecos are carrying out these moves as part of the industry’s broader 10G quest. But can cable keep up with the aggressive fiber rollouts of such rivals as BT, Orange and Deutsche Telekom? In this overview, we will set the competitive context for European cable’s 10G drive.

12:40—13:25    Panel I: Getting to 10G with DOCSIS & DAA 
        Now that both Virgin Media and Vodafone Germany have begun DOCSIS 4.0 trials, it’s clear that the next-gen DOCSIS spec has a future in Europe. With the aid of DAA technology, cable operators are prepping for the D4 era by upgrading their HFC architecture, moving more intelligence to the access network and carrying out mid-splits and high-splits. But, with the cost of fiber builds falling, how far will cablecos ride the DOCSIS/DAA train to 10G and beyond? In this session, we will explore the industry’s D4 and DAA strategy.
