Discover how next-generation amplifiers and intelligent outside plant technologies are reshaping the future of cable networks.

Cable operators are modernizing their HFC networks to handle more spectrum, greater bandwidth, and the evolution to DOCSIS 4.0.
At the same time, they face the challenge of integrating legacy systems, reducing operational costs, and improving network reliability.

This exclusive Heavy Reading white paper, authored by Alan Breznick, reveals how “smart amps” and remote management capabilities are enabling operators to build smarter, more efficient networks.

Key insights include:
✅ 59% of operators say increasing network efficiency is the top benefit of remote management.
✅ 72% are interested in remote monitoring and control of HFC assets.
✅ 51% are already upgrading for DOCSIS 4.0 — with many planning more in 2026.
✅ Cisco remains the dominant amp vendor, but new players are emerging.

What You’ll Learn:

How smart amps fit into broader DAA and DOCSIS 4.0 strategies
The top challenges and opportunities in remote network management
How predictive analytics will drive the next phase of HFC evolution
