Leading cable technologists will discuss the industry's early trials and pilot programs with SDN and NFV, the virtualization business use cases they are exploring, the results they are seeing so far and the challenges they must still overcome to bring virtualization to life.
Alan Breznick, Light Reading's Cable/Video Practice Leader and Heavy Reading analyst, will moderate the event. Featured speakers include Don Clarke, Principal Architect of Network Technologies at CableLabs and Jeff Finkelstein, Executive Director of Advanced Technology at Cox Communications.

• Virtual CCAP
• ONAP

"We are going to tackle the main challenges that cable operators are encountering or may encounter as they seek to virtualize their network equipment, functions and services," Breznick said. "But then we will go beyond these challenges and talk about how cablecos can make virtualization solutions work for them in the real world."
