Description

The worldwide Cable TV industry is in a race to provision a “three screen” telecommunications service.

Super Headends provide the economies of scale needed to deliver the greatest number of services, over the greatest geographical reach, at the lowest possible cost.

Modular Cable Modem Termination Systems (Modular CMTS) equipment is being brought into play to upgrade High Speed Data services to compete against ADSL, VDSL, and Fiber-to-the-Home.

More Voice-over-IP equipment is also being purchased.

More QAM channels are being set up to support more services, being delivered to more subscribers.

Fixed Mobile Convergence, or FMC, is being developed using Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) that come from the mobile market, and is adapting the IMS equipment, protocols, and services to work with Cable’s Data over Cable standards.

This report provides detailed forecasts for the number of headends, QAM hubs, and FMC infrastructures being newly built, as well as upgrades of existing locations. In-Stat expects that the value of Internet Protocol infrastructure equipment will grow to more than US$ 2.1 billion in 2010.
