Technicolor's Georges Laplanche and Roberto Salermo Discuss Demand for Ultra-Broadband Access Technologies in Emerging Economies"NSPs in emerging markets are waking up to the benefits that these technologies can offer to enable new revenue generating services, while reducing costs to buttress their bottom line and competitive posture."
By: Technicolor In this context, network service providers (NSPs) will explore how DOCSIS 3.1 and fiber technologies can best be deployed to deliver gigabit strategies for demanding subscribers, according to Georges Laplanche, Senior Vice President of Sales Eurasia, for Global CPE with Technicolor Connected Home, and Roberto Salermo, Senior Vice President of Americas, Global CPE Sales at Technicolor Connected Home in a joint audio interview for journalists covering the conference. Executives point out that consumer expectations for access to videos, movies, games and other content are rising, and NSPs -- regardless of location -- need to deliver fast and secure internet to their subscribers. Ultra-broadband access technologies will play a central role in meeting these expectations. "Fundamentally, there are two ultra-broadband technologies. In the cable world, the latest generation technology for service to the home, DOCSIS 3.1, is growing in acceptance because of its ability to offer increased bandwidth to meet consumer demand. For Telcos, fiber remains their best gigabit infrastructure investment, even as they make investments in the copper network via very high-speed digital subscriber line (VDSL) technologies," NSPs in emerging markets are waking up to the benefits that these technologies can offer to enable new revenue generating services, while reducing costs to buttress their bottom line and competitive posture. "Telecom Argentina is an excellent example for Latin America because they have always been forward looking when it comes to video services," says Salermo. "They decided this year to fully deploy DOCSIS 3.1, and now they are taking a huge leap forward regarding their broadband offerings as they continue to future proof their homes and provide more value-added services." Countries in Eurasia are making similar investments in innovation, explains Laplanche. "We see fiber deployments across the board, and we see demand for ultra-broadband everywhere. For instance, across the Balkans, we see demand for DOCSIS 3.1 on traditional cable networks. It's absolutely the same in every emerging market," says Laplanche. Gaps between Developed and Emerging Economies Shrinking The current boom in ultra-broadband access technologies is putting a spotlight on how emerging markets can leapfrog into more advanced technology deployments in a cost-effective manner. As a result, there are fewer technology gaps between emerging and developing countries. To serve emerging markets, Technicolor is bringing the full range of its expertise and solutions to bear, allowing NSPs to make choices based on the needs of their markets and subscriber demands. ### Editor's Note: To hear the full audio interview with Georges Laplanche and Roberto Salermo on how emerging economies are embracing ultra-broadband access technologies, visit: https://bit.ly/ Contact Technicolor ***@mindsharecapture.com Photos: https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ End
