First Tech Summit of 2024 at Huawei

On Wednesday, April 17, SCTE Benelux, in collaboration with NLconnect, hosted the first Tech Summit of the year. The event took place at the Huawei Innovation Center in Rijswijk. After a light lunch, participants were given a tour of the Huawei Innovation Center led by Dennis Tossijn, BeNeLux EBG Director Marketing & Solution Sales at Huawei Technologies. Following the tour, three lectures were held on the theme ‘DOCSIS vs PON’. Technological developments are advancing at a rapid pace. In Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC), the focus is on developments in DOCSIS 4.0 and DOCSIS 3.1 upgrades. In Fibre with 25G PON, DOCSIS 4.0 represents the new generation of HFCs, offering symmetrical multi-gigabit speeds, improved security,

and lower latency using 1.8GHz technology and full-duplex technology. For PON, the next step is being considered as 100G. These interesting developments were highlighted in this Tech Summit. David Whitehead, Senior Director of Broadband Solutions at Harmonic Inc., delivered an interesting talk on ‘The Future for Cable – How To Extend the Life of the Cable Network while Enhancing Customer Quality of Experience.’ Huawei presented on ‘XGS-PON, the future-proof technology.’ John Louwerse, Domain Architect HFC at VodafoneZiggo, addressed ‘Matching portfolio across coax and fibre-based infrastructures - running coax and fibre side by side.’
