Fairmile West at BBWF and SCTE Autumn Lecture

scte_70th_anniversary_logoBBWFIn the week ahead, we will be available to meet at two events –  the SCTE Autumn Lecture Meeting on Wednesday 21st October and Broadband World Forum on Thursday 22nd October. Ian Nock will be attending both events.

The SCTE Autumn Lecture is focusing on some key data connectivity enabler technologies in Distributed CCAP and a chance to hear Ericsson’s perspectives on media trends towards 2020. In attending the BBWF on the Thursday, we hope to sync up on developments in NFV and SDN, and see real world demos of G.Fast – technologies that are to be instrumental in operators making more effective use of their networks to provide the level of performance necessary for next generation content.

If you wish to meet at either event, please get in touch to ensure that meeting takes place at http://www.fairmilewest.com/contact-us/
