Triple Play Service Offering Boosts the Growth of Cable TV Test Equipment Markets

The new trend of converging video, voice, and data on the same system, also known as ‘triple play’, is proving to be a significant driver for cable TV (CATV) test equipment markets. While both cable operators and telecom operators (telco’s) are deploying triple play services in their product offerings, this technology is likely to have a higher impact on the CATV test equipment markets. This is because the demand for optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs) is increasing largely with the growing uptake of high definition television (HDTV), Internet protocol-based television (IPTV), fiber to the curb, home, and premise (FTTx) as well as other fiber-optic based technologies.
