SCTE Benelux Online Lunch Lecture 2020
SCTE Benelux invites you to an online lunch lecture, to replace the IBC lecture, as part of the IBC Showcase 2020. This online lunch meeting will take place on Thursday 10 September 2020 from 11:00 – 12:00 hrs and will feature two fascinating speakers on ‘5G and extended HFC: the fibre challengers’. Afterwards, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions. Is 5G a challenge or a gateway to greater possibilities within HFC networks? Can one system do without the other and still provide the required data speeds and (if so) for how long? In this lecture meeting, adjusted for an online environment, the presenters will try and highlight various options. Not all issues may be covered in these limited 20-minute presentations, but the Q&A afterwards will help participants to gain a better understanding of the options. The moderator will assist in the online questioning. With this session we hope to provide our SCTE members and their guests, as well as all other interested visitors who used to drop in on our IBC events, with an interesting and informative lunch-hour session.
