1 The Spectrum Newsletter of the Rocky Mountain Chapter December 2010 From the National Board: There are a number of items that the National board is working on, now that the new board members have joined us. First and foremost, the board is continuing work on its own structure, to make sure that it is geared to ensure the SCTE s value and success continue to grow. It s not a small task to guide a 14,000 member organization through all the technologies, best practices and applications that need to be disseminated, standardized and taught to our constituents. New programs in IP and digital applications, along with engineering 101 are needed, and SCTE is providing it to members. We have launched our new website at so if you haven t logged on, do so and check it out! Also, we just announced our partnership with Dartmouth University for the first ever SCTE Leadership Institute which will take place this spring. It s a one week intense leadership curriculum for Director level and above members to grow their skills and ensure we have strong engineering leadership in the industry. As an At Large board member, I m available at any time to talk with any SCTE member and if there s something I can do for you, let me know! Tom Tom Gorman VP, Field Operations S. Fiddlers Green Circle. Greenwood Village CO
2 Guest Column David Haigh Lead Engineer Midcontinent SCTE Regional Director, Region 6 DOCSIS 3: The need for speed? or Bandwidth? Since the implementation of DOCSIS 3.0, many of the highest tier customers have seen an increase in speeds enabling them to download content at a faster rate (e.g. 50Mbps down/5mbps up). Although these speeds have given Cable Operators additional tiers of service to offer customers, the biggest use of DOCSIS 3.0 has been the ability to provide a much larger data pipe to each individual customer with an increase of total available bandwidth. A good example would be a system that moved from having only 1 QAM (38.8Mbps) to 4 QAMs (155Mbps). If it wasn t for DOCSIS 3.0 many Cable Operators would be starting to perform node splits at a considerable rate. So what s driving bandwidth consumption? The steep rise in bandwidth consumption doesn t appear to be driven by a small group of customers rather each individual customer requiring additional bandwidth. Average individual consumption has grown by about 400% since the beginning of Real-time Entertainment dominates the majority of bandwidth used in the United States. Traffic Class Upstream Downstream Real-time Entertainment 16.3% 45.7% Web Surfing 11.0% 24.3% P2P File Sharing 53.3% 13.2% Real-time 5.5% Not Available Social Networking Not Available 2.4% Gaming Not Available 2.4% Source: CableLabs & Sandvine Much of this traffic can be contributed to Netflix, Blockbuster online, I-Tunes, YouTube, Slingbox and other video related services. Other services such as VOIP(Vonage type services), social network, gaming, web surfing, electronic books, Pod Casts, radio streaming, file sharing and draw considerable less bandwidth but do contribute to the overall bandwidth consumption. So what happens when the DOCSIS 3.0 bandwidth fills up? There are a few ways of increasing bandwidth depending on the CMTS & EQAM configuration and amount of QAMs used. One way is to break apart DOCSIS 3.0 groups that share multiple downstreams from a CMTS. This would involve adding additional EQAMs, Gig E ports and breaking the combining apart to end up with a ratio of 1 CMTS downstream to 1 DOCSIS 3.0 group. Another method would be to increase the amount of DOCSIS 3.0 QAMs. Most Cable Operators launched DOCSIS 3.0 with 3 or 4 QAMs (or channels) per downstream. If this was increased to 8 QAMs the total overall available bandwidth would be 310Mbps. The first generation of DOCSIS 3.0 modems are capable of bonding up to 4 channels. The latest generation of modems are capable of bonding 8 channels. The possibilities go well beyond 8 channels. If & when a modem manufacture develops a modem capable of 16 channels it will increase the total available bandwidth to more than 620Mbps. Let s take it to the extreme; if a modem was capable of bonding 110 channels it would have a total available bandwidth of 4.268Gbps! And that s down one piece of coax! 2

5 Biography Example: Hugh M. Long The past couple of years Hugh has been a Friend of the Board, and brought the One Thing introduction and wrap up to many of the seminars. Following the lead of Curly Washburn from City Slickers, he kicked off the seminars by challenging the attendees to find that one thing about the training that would have an impact on them and their daily job, and then wrapped up the seminars by discussing the common one things of the group. The SCTE has been an integral part of my life, and feel that the time is right to get more involved with the Chapter s development. If elected, I d like to continue the one thing seminar intros, but bring it to the next level that is, see if attendees are applying their one things to their daily jobs. To me, that means talking to attendees after the seminar and making sure that we as a Board are offering training that are not nice to have events, but need to have professional development opportunities. Hugh works for University, developing and facilitating training curriculum to support not just field technicians, but other functional groups from warehouse personnel to technicians working in s Technical Assurance Center. He has been in Telecommunications for over 20 years. Hugh started in the daily operations world as an installer, moving up through the ranks until he ran a few SMATVs in Eastern Colorado in addition to daily maintenance in and around Denver, CO. He then switched over to the management side of the business until training and development reached out for him. He started his second career within a career as a system trainer and moved up until he was a regional trainer, developing and training just about anything that the field technician needed. Hugh then worked for the SCTE as their Manager of Curriculum Development, working on such projects as the Installer Certification Program and the Tap to TV series. Additionally, he facilitated a number of SCTE technical seminars around the country. Returning to the MSO-world, Hugh was the Technical Training Manager at Comcast. First working at their Corporate University in Philadelphia, PA, then at Comcast s West Division in Denver, CO, where he was responsible for ensuring that there was not just training material to support the field technicians, but also that the trainers were prepared (both technically as well as from a facilitator perspective). 5
