Join usand look ahead to the next decade of wireless communication asour industry experts discuss future wireless technologies including5G, LTE-U, 802.11ax, and the services that cable will use tomonetize them.Moderator: Rob Alderfer, CableLabsSpeakers:Osama Aboul Magd, HuaweiJennifer Andreoli-Fang, CableLabsTom Nagel, ComcastJohn Smee, QualcommLocation:Red Cloud Peak5:00 – 7:00 pmRECEPTION & DEMONSTRATIONSLocation:Grays Peak & Longs Peak (demo floor)7:00 am – 7:00 pmREGISTRATIONLocation: Shavano Foyer, Keystone Conference Center6:30 – 8:00 amBREAKFASTLocation: Longs Peak Foyer8:15 – 8:30 amGREETING: PHIL MCKINNEY, President & CEO, CableLabsLocation:Shavano Peak & Red Cloud Peak8:30 – 9:30 amKEYNOTE: TONY WERNER, CTO, ComcastLocation:Shavano Peak & Red Cloud Peak9:30 – 9:45 amBREAK9:45 – 10:45 amCONCURRENT SESSIONSInternet of ThingsThe Internet of Things ecosystem is evolving at an incredible pace.This session will examine three emerging areas of Internet of3
Things: Smart Cities, Health Care, and the Connected Home.Speakers will provide an interesting overview of the emergingopportunities and developments in these areas with focus on thestate of the art and emerging applications.Speakers:Andy Castonguay, Machina ResearchPhil Fritz, IBMMark Rolston, argodesignLocation:Shavano PeakFiber DeepWhether considering fiber to the home solutions or just pushingfiber deeper using node 0 architectures, the trend is clear FiberDeep. Is RFoG the best option for pushing fiber to the home, or isRFoG just one step in a progression toward digital optics (e.g.,PON) and all-IP transport? Are there fiber distribution optionsavailable today that will make FTTH simpler in the future? What arethe FTTH solutions in use today by cable operators? This panel willdiscuss views on economics, deployment challenges, operationaladvantages, and future technologies for pushing fiber deeper.Moderator: Curtis Knittle, CableLabsSpeakers:John Dickinson, Bright HouseGuy McCormick, CoxPeter Wolff, Time Warner CableLocation:Red Cloud Peak10:45 – 11:00 amBREAK11:00 am – NoonCONCURRENT SESSIONSManaging Services in the HomeDemands on home networks have been rapidly increasing in recentyears due to the proliferation of connected devices and highbandwidth applications like streaming video. With the advent ofcable operator-provided Wi-Fi gateways in the home, operatorsassume responsibility for their access points while customer’sexpectations of network performance and stability are significantlyraised. The objective for this panel session is to clarify thechallenges and available solutions for home networks, providinginsight into testing, trials, deployment tools, new architectures,management tools, and operational optimization.Moderator: Vikas Sarawat, CableLabsSpeakers:Sam Heidari, QuantennaJoseph Jensen, Block CommunicationsClayton Wagar, Benu NetworksLocation:Shavano Peak4
Security Internet of ThingsRefrigerators not only hold spam, they can send it too! Moredevices in and around the home are becoming Internet aware(thermostats, refrigerators, baby monitors, cars ) allowing cablecustomers to do more online. As new devices become Internetaware, the companies developing these devices are not addressinghow to protect users from online threats. This session will discussthe concerns of security on the Internet of Things.Moderator: John Civiletto, CoxSpeakers:Nancy Davoust, ComcastMary Haynes, CharterTyson Macaulay, McAfeeLocation:Red Cloud PeakNoon – 1:30 pmLUNCHLocation:Longs Peak FoyerBIRDS OF A FEATHER TABLESLocation:Quandary PeakDEMO FLOOR OPEN (until 6:45pm)Location:Grays Peak & Longs Peak1:30 – 2:30 pmKEYNOTE: PHIL MCKINNEY, President & CEO, CableLabsLocation:Shavano Peak & Red Cloud Peak2:30 – 2:45 pmBREAK2:45 – 3:45 pmCONCURRENT SESSIONSThe Future Content EcosystemWe’ve entered a period of rapid innovation for video contentformats that aim to provide a higher quality and a more compellingviewing experience for consumers.
