• Enable subscribers to access cable programming on their choice of IP video devices, on-net and off-net

• Provide a unified portal to all video content

• Consolidate video service infrastructures and workflows, OPEX savings

• Utilize network resources efficiently for all services

• Keep pace with rapidly changing video technology

• Alignment with cloud architecture to support device ecosystem

• CAPEX requirements for all IP video (over DOCSIS) similar to silo approach with hybrid DVB-C

• Lowers bandwidth requirements in the long run by sharing the data pipe between VBR or ABR video and opportunistic data traffic

• IP overlay using DOCSIS is not more expensive than classic DVB-C technology in a triple (Dual)-play scenario

• Lower CPE cost offsets higher network cost

• High DS capacity/chassis with new CMTS line card

• BW efficiency with VBR in shared pipe

• RF spanning

• Typical large system with triple-play based on D3.0 with 200 kbps average rate and 100 Mbps peak rate

• The destination is agreed, end-end IP Video delivery

Embracing the operational and cost benefits it affords in a world of diverse end-point devices and networks

• The starting point is understood

The existing system being deployed by the Cable Operator

• It’s is now all about the journey

Making a series of incremental “no-regrets” investments in:

Media Data Center architectures and virtualization (equally applicable to Horizon/Orion)

A cloud-based services delivery environment with distributed caching to the home

Access evolution and bandwidth strategies leveraging Video over DOCSIS

Embracing mobility as it’s network relevance increases, i.e. 4G/LTE

Whilst appropriately leveraging the capabilities of the existing installed infrastructure
