Broadband Technology Report announces that it has extended the submission deadline for the 2020 Diamond Technology reviews. The new deadline is Friday, July 10. The program recognizes and rewards the top products and services available to the broadband cable industry.
Companies are welcome to submit nominations for as many products as they wish via our online portal. Products and services introduced or significantly upgraded since SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2019 are eligible for consideration.
Each entry is evaluated by members of an independent panel of judges composed of cable industry veterans and other experts. Each reviewing judge awards a score of 1 (low) to 5 to the entry, based on the product or service’s utility and level of innovation. Entries that receive an averaged score of at least 3.5 are recognized as Diamond Technology Review honorees.
Honorees and their scores will be announced in late September. The high-scoring entries will be further recognized within the 2020 SCTE Cable-Tec Expo, which will be held virtually this year from October 12-15 (see "SCTE•ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2020 goes to virtual format").
