Live Webinar | Cable Operators – The Move to Edge Compute

Date: Thursday, April 23rd
Time: 11:00am ET

Cable operators are deploying Distributed Access Architectures (DAA) and extending fiber closer to the customer. Does this mean cable operators are well positioned for edge compute—moving compute and storage closer to the edge? Are cable operators actually moving to edge compute? If so, why? Where is ‘the edge’ for cable operators—the headend, the primary or secondary hub sites, other locations? 

Join this webinar to hear from David Strauss of Broadband Success Partners who recently discussed these questions—and more—with network and business services executives at cable operators of all sizes in North America. Ciena’s Fernando Villarruel will join David to discuss some of the opportunities for cable operators as they move toward edge compute and the associated automation, analytics, and infrastructure considerations.
