SCTE TechExpo25 kicks off in less than a week in Washington, D.C. This year, CableLabs is going all-in to provide high-impact engagement opportunities for our member and vendor communities — from members-only sessions and guided show floor tours to live, expert-led demos showcasing the technologies that are reshaping connectivity.
If you’re already registered, this blog post is your guide to maximizing your CableLabs connections and exploring the comprehensive Technology Vision for the broadband industry. If you’re not registered yet, there’s still time — register now. (And don’t forget that employees of CableLabs member companies are eligible for complimentary full-access passes!)
Block time each day — Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Sept. 29–Oct. 1) — for these opportunities to go behind the scenes and dive deeper into the future of broadband. All times are EDT.
1. Live, Expert-Led Demos
Every day during show floor hours at the NCTA booth (F600)
Stop by for expert-led demos on the technologies driving the future of connectivity. Each demo provides direct access to our team and real-time proof of how these technologies are helping drive the future of connectivity.
- Frictionless Connectivity: Learn how Zero-Touch Onboarding automates Wi-Fi connections without apps or technical support — enabling instant, seamless and secure connections.
- Smart Networks, Seamless Experiences: Dive into Quality by Design (QbD) technology, in which apps and networks communicate automatically to fix performance issues. QbD enables smoother streaming and faster load times without any user intervention.
- Optimized Network Performance: Watch AI-powered session automation manage bandwidth across multiple devices and applications automatically. See how critical tasks like video calls maintain quality even during peak household usage.
- The Future Is Dynamic: Discover how Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) lets different technologies coexist in the same spectrum, creating abundance from scarcity and enabling seamless connectivity everywhere.
