This video provides a technical overview of remote management and control strategies for smart amplifiers in HFC networks, focusing on a comparison between LoRaWAN and HMS technologies.
Key topics covered:
- Why remote firmware management is essential for modern smart amplifiers
- LoRaWAN fundamentals: open-source architecture, FSK modulation, and security design
- HMS fundamentals: legacy protocols, diagnostic functions, and current limitations
- Technical trade-offs in power consumption, scalability, security, and interoperability
- Risk and operational impacts for MSOs deploying smart amplifiers without remote management
Designed for cable operators, engineers, and network planners, this video explains how these technologies work, where they fit, and what to consider when integrating them into broadband networks.
