scte news Welcome to the Executive Committee, Ian Nock!
Beyond the day job, Ian’s a Fellow of the SCTE and active in the IET, IEEE and SMPTE. He’s also been chairing the Ultra HD Forum Interoperability Working Group since 2017, helping sort out the practical challenges of getting high-quality video from production to your screen, regardless of how it gets there. What really gets Ian excited is pushing the SCTE into the future of broadband entertainment and communications. As he puts it, “The modern broadband engineer must enable advanced applications as well as connectivity.” He’s passionate about helping the industry—and SCTE members—build smarter, more capable networks that can handle whatever comes next. Welcome aboard, Ian. We’re looking forward to seeing where you’ll help take us.
We’re thrilled to announce that Ian Nock has joined the SCTE Executive Committee, bringing with him over 25 years of hands-on experience in the broadband and cable trenches. As Managing Consultant at Fairmile West, Ian’s been everywhere in the network stack—from core infrastructure right through to what’s happening in your living room. He’s had his fingerprints on cable, IPTV, satellite and OTT platforms across more than 20 countries, working with heavyweights like Liberty Global, Virgin Media, Deutsche Telekom and plenty of others you’d recognise. If you’ve used an EOS/TiVo V6 or Horizon set-top box, there’s a good chance Ian had something to do with making it work. He’s been deep in the weeds on everything from broadband gateways and home networking to hybrid cable/IPTV deployments and cloud video platforms— basically, if it delivers video or broadband to your home, Ian’s probably worked on something like it.
