For years, the cable industry has endeavored to break down the major service silos of voice, video and data. While IP technology will help them get there long-term, operators must also look to break down the "micro-silos," as well. One platform that will help operators do that is the modular-cable modem termination system (CMTS), which will allow operators to mix and match quadrature amplitude modulation (QAMs) and share QAM resources for a range of services and applications, including VOD, high-speed data and switched digital broadcast. This session will break down the components and roles of the M-CMTS and discuss potential timelines for trials and commercial deployments. Mr. Bennington will specifically discuss the new cable synchronization standard, DOCSIS Timing Interface (DTI), and its role in the M-CMTS architecture.

Cable Television and Broadband Expo 2006 is an online tradeshow in every sense of the word, with wide-ranging exhibits and compelling conference sessions and keynotes. The conference program includes four different high-interest tracks during both days of the show, each featuring expert panel discussions and live audience Q&A. In addition to "The Broadband Future" track, other tracks include "On-Demand & Interactive TV," "IPTV Tech" and "Broadband Mobility." The exhibit hall is packed with virtual exhibit booths where you can investigate new products and services, view demos, pick up literature and white papers, and even engage in live instant-message chats with company representatives.

Jeremy Bennington is responsible for business development of several next generation synchronization technologies and markets for Symmetricom. His work includes development of the new cable synchronization standard, DOCSIS Timing Interface, and several other synchronization technologies for the broader communication market including IEEE 1588, Synchronous Ethernet and the Universal Timing Interface.
