SCTE to Offer Live DOCSIS 3.1 Training

The SCTE is partnering with cable operators, vendors and CableLabs to create and deliver live training for DOCSIS 3.1. The DOCSIS 3.1 Boot Camp is targeted for a nationwide rollout in 2016. Information will be available at the CableLabs Winter Conference in Orlando.

The three-day program includes a combination of primers and pre-course assessment of students' existing knowledge. Follow-up course activities, including digital games and additional educational content, are intended to reinforce the education.

The Boot Camp contains more than a dozen modules and demonstrations that cover foundational elements of DOCSIS 3.1, as well as application exercises on deployment, installation and troubleshooting. The program also includes smartphone educational games and e-learning modules for the field.

In addition to MSO and SCTE collaboration, the DOCSIS 3.1 Boot Camp curriculum uses content from ARRIS, Averna, Rhode & Schwarz, Trilithic and Viavi.
