The Subscriber War - Part III - Living on the Edge

A certificate of attendance will be offered.

“Consume locally” is a term we hear often nowadays. Well, with edge computing, what you are essentially getting is a corner store: instead of going the distance to pick up groceries and services, you’ll find them right in your neighborhood.

Pushing content and services to the edge is currently being investigated or deployed to improve customer experience, reduce the load on the network and process applications locally.

Within the respective distributed access architecture (DAA) push, cable operators are transforming headends and hub sites into mini data centers or, in other words, headends re-architected as data centers (HERDs).

For operators, it brings a new string of revenue opportunities for business services.

Join us for a free webinar covering:

• What, where, when and why basics of edge-computing
• The new deployment and operational realities of edge-computing for MSO operators

Key takeaways:

• Edge computing 101
• Deployment and operational challenges of edge computing
• Best practices
