SCTE/ISBE announced a new online course that the Society says is designed to expedite the rollout of high-quality DOCSIS 3.1 installations for cable operators. The course gives a background in DOCSIS 3.1, a comparison with previous versions of DOCSIS, and a technical overview of the new spec.
It also offers an understanding of operational implications, procedures for installation, and methods of troubleshooting. Specifically it covers such areas as signal processing, capacity, and upstream and downstream configurations as well as reviewing physical and MAC layer modifications, DOCSIS 3.1 operations, proactive network maintenance features, DOCSIS 3.1 installation, and troubleshooting.
The eight-hour, eight-module online program is modeled after SCTE/ISBE’s DOCSIS 3.1 onsite Boot Camp for Engineers
“The overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from our onsite Boot Camps underscored the demand for intensified year-round training on DOCSIS 3.1, FTTx, and wireless,” Reni Gorman, VP, learning and development at SCTE/ISBE, says. “‘DOCSIS 3.1 Installation’ will give our industry’s workforce the business, technology, and deployment knowledge they need to maximize the potential of one of cable telecommunications’ game-changing technologies.”
The program is targeted toward both independent cable and MSO technical professionals, including mid- to senior-level data technicians, maintenance and installation technicians, and technical operation (TechOp) managers. Attendees must have DOCSIS experience.
