DOCSIS 4.0, together with the cable industry’s 10G initiative, is poised to redefine what broadband means for millions of homes and businesses. It boosts speeds up to 10 Gbps down and 6 Gbps up, with significantly improved latency and reliability.
That’s a big deal. Why? Because cable still passes 90%+ of U.S. homes, and that’s a massive opportunity to deliver next-gen connectivity without rebuilding the network from scratch.
Now, layer in AI for HFC networks—bringing self-optimization, predictive maintenance, and intelligent assurance—and the opportunity becomes transformative for operators and their customers alike. Operators can detect issues before they affect customers, accelerate Root Cause Analysis (RCA), reduce Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and focus resources where they matter most.
Harnessing AI intelligence: What operators need to know
We’re excited to showcase the next evolution of network intelligence at this year’s SCTE® Cable-Tec Expo® with four new modules for our QuantumLink™ HFC Remote Management solution. These software enhancements address top challenges operators face by taking network monitoring and control to the next level to predict issues, cut costs, and deliver a superior broadband experience.
Attendees will gain firsthand insight into how the next generation of networks is being built—and how they can optimize AOI’s software to stay ahead in this rapidly changing digital landscape. Here’s a look at what attendees can expect.
From prediction to resolution
Our AI-driven software brings machine learning to network management and identifies network issues before they occur and facilitates planned maintenance to avoid service impact. Key insights from this module will include:
- Predicting failures with automatic anomaly detection and health scoring.
- Pinpointing root causes faster by correlating telemetry, alarms, and historical data.
Real-time visibility that drives better decision-making
Explore dashboards that simplify complex telemetry into clear, actionable insights with analytics software that puts the right information at everyone’s fingertips. This module will demonstrate how:
- NOC operators and technicians can get real-time RF performance, alarms, and device health to speed up troubleshooting.
- Executives and analysts can access dashboards that support capacity planning and strategic oversight.
Alarms: Lower OPEX and increase QoS
Good alarms don’t just notify—they enable action by minimizing truck rolls and supporting proactive maintenance. This software module will show how to:
- Catch issues instantly with automated alarming before they affect customers.
- Extend equipment life with closed-loop controls and scheduled maintenance.
- Cut operational costs while improving quality of service.
Track, manage, and streamline with network mapping
Asset management gets a major upgrade with our network mapping software. Experience how streamlined inventory management keeps networks running smoothly and efficiently in this demonstration by:
- Tracking amplifiers by model and status with integrated workflows.
- Visualizing network assets with device topology mapping and optimized usage.
See it live at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo
The convergence of DOCSIS 4.0 technology and AI-driven solutions promises to reshape broadband to unprecedented levels of speed and operational efficiency.
