- IPTV White Paper
A traditional service provider, whether it is a telco, cable MSO or satellite (DBS)
company, is no longer bounded by its core segment or original purpose. These
service providers are quickly morphing into comprehensive purveyors of Triple
and Quad Play services for telephony (landline and cellular), Internet access and
video and digital television. As Charles Hall of Rider Research and publisher of
the Online Reporter has suggested recently, the term digital service provider
perhaps more accurately reflects this evolutionary process.
- PQoS – Parameterized Quality of Service
The essential promise of MoCA—no new wires, no service calls and no interference with other networks or consumer electronic devices—remains intact with each upgrade to the standard.
- Cable and Satellite Digital Entertainment Networks
Traditional broadcast TV viewing models are eroding as consumers embrace new content consumption technologies. Driven by DVRs, high-definition (HD) content, and the emergence of multiple HDTVs per household, cable MSOs and satellite operators are moving to deploy robust digital entertainment networks to enable distribution of content within the home.
- Telco TV Home Networking Technology and Market Outlook
As telecommunications companies continue to roll out IPTV as part of their Triple-Play offerings, deploying the
right advanced home networking technologies is becoming an increasingly vital part of each operator’s strategy.
When implemented correctly, with an eye towards future service sets and applications, operators have
an opportunity to protect their investments by deploying home networking technologies that will allow expansion
of services in the future.
- Wired
and Wireless Networks in the Home
For most people today, home networking simply means sharing Internet access or printers throughout
a home on several computers. For early adopters, home networking can be a critical path to share advanced IP
services across multiple home devices such as consumer electronics, set-top boxes, computers, game boxes and
other peripherals.

Instruments: Next Generation Residential Gateways
Increasingly, homes are being populated with a divergent array of digital devices, multimedia applications,
networked appliances, voice and data communications platforms, entertainment systems and much more.
All the while consumers are acquiring more and more digital content, which often enters the home through
broadband access to the Internet, is subsequently moved and shared among the devices in the home, and
eventually may be transferred outside the home via the Internet or by loading it onto a portable
consumer device.

- Consumer Technology: Key Trends and Outlook for 2008, A Parks Associates White Paper
The manner by which consumers create and share personal and commercial content, enjoy a variety of programming and entertainment applications, communicate, and enhance productivity at home and on-the-go is evolving as digital technologies become more mainstream. As 2008 looms, there is very solid activity and very real potential among multiple players in services delivery, software development, and platform design to address the increasing consumer appetite for lifestyle enhancement solutions and productivity applications – from broadband to portable music and emerging television services – among many categories.
- The Use of Ethernet-Over-Coax in HFC Networks
The growing use of IP technology to deliver audio, video and data to subscribers often faces a simple problem.
The physical connection to the IP network is often not available at the site where the equipment associated
with these new services is located. For example, a DSL modem is typically located at a telephone outlet that is
not close to the TV, and a cable modem is connected to an RF wall outlet that is usually not close to the home
office or computer.
