With the arrival of DOCSIS® 3.1 operators have a fantastic new asset in their arsenal to provide industry leading broadband experiences. However, with great power comes great responsibility (and complexity).
As we build and upgrade our DOCSIS networks, we need to also take the time to maximize their configurations to effectively utilize the new advances in technology, while also increasing resiliency and reliability. To get the most out of a DOCSIS network today, operators need to balance capacity and reliability to bring high-quality customer experience and services. As you maximize the DOCSIS network, you will build a strong foundation. With a strong foundation you can provide a solid framework for future DOCSIS technologies and services. This framework will ease future deployments to improve services.
