Scott Helms, ZCorum Vice President To Speak on 2015 ANGACOM Panel in Cologne, Germany
Cologne, Germany (PRWEB) June 08, 2015 -- ZCorum, an industry leader in the deployment of diagnostics tools and software for broadband providers, announced that Scott Helms, Vice President of Technology at ZCorum will be speaking at the 2015 ANGACOM Exhibition and Conference on Thursday, June 11 at 1:30 pm Central European Time in Cologne, Germany.
Helms will be joined by panelists Dr. L. Alberto Campos, Principal Architect Advanced Technology Group, Cable Television Laboratories; Damian Koch, Director Sales and Business Development, braun teleCom GmbH and Brady Volpe, President and CTO, The Volpe Firm. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Alexander Adams, Managing Director, Adams Network Engineering.
During the session, Helms will present “Real World Success Stories - Cable Operators and Proactive Network Maintenance (PNM)” and outline how broadband providers are applying the new PNM technology to improve and accelerate their network maintenance and troubleshooting. The panelists will also discuss topics such as Overview and Advances in Proactive Network Maintenance, Proactive Network Maintenance and DOCSIS 3.1, Network Requirements for launching DOCSIS PNM and Increasing Customer Satisfaction and Optimizing OPEX through DOCSIS PNM.
Helms bills the panel as a “conversation about how PNM technology is changing the way providers allocate resources, resolve issues and plan for the future.”
“DOCSIS pre-equalization technology calculates and identifies issues and the cable modems automatically adjust their signals to compensate for upstream impairments in the plant,” added Helms. “PNM tools then leverage the pre-equalization data to locate impairments, which has significantly reduced the time spent on plant maintenance. Technicians are spending less time in the field and using fewer resources as a result.”
ANGACOM 2015 takes place this week, June 9 through 11 at the Koelenmesse Conference Center in Cologne, Germany. ZCorum will be Exhibiting in Hall 10.2 at Stand H30 with Adams Consult GmbH & Co. KG.
