At SCTE TechExpo26 in Atlanta, tech journalist Diana Blass went behind the scenes with AOI to look at where cable networks are headed next.

  • A first look at 3.0GHz. What can the new standards and technology do for capacity and performance?
  • Smarter networks. How connected amplifiers, remote monitoring and software are changing the way operators manage their plant.
  • The road ahead. What rising AI data use and continued fiber expansion mean for cable’s future.

The takeaway: the question isn’t only how much faster broadband can get, but how intelligently it can run.
