When I’m working to assist Affiliates with issues that may surface on their cable networks, TruVizion is great application that allows me to have a look at the graphical interface of a CMTS for broadband management. Having diagnostic information for a cable plant at the click of a button makes my job easier and allows me to resolve issues more rapidly and get back to normal operations. Is a certain ...
DSL providers know that they’re often at a disadvantage compared to cable operators when it comes to tools to do basic tasks with the CPE gear they’ve deployed. For example, it’s fairly easy to keep DOCSIS cable modems on a current version of firmware, and it’s trivial to reboot a modem that you think is misbehaving. For many DSL providers neither of those things are easy. ...
I’m back from Vegas, and I’m going to tell you most of what happened there. I was at the NCTC Winter Educational Conference (WEC) with my ZCorum cohorts Alex Rivera and Neal Grillot. If you’re not familiar with the NCTC WEC, it’s a great place for cable and telephone providers who are NCTC members to exchange ideas and learn about new technologies and trends within the TV and broadband industry. ZCorum is an approved NCTC service provider, and ...

I was San Diego last week at the 2012 NTCA meeting and Expo. We’ve been to the OPASTCO Winter meeting for years, but it’s been awhile since we’ve been to the NTCA event. With a new diagnostics solution in the works for DSL, we decided to do both shows that cater to rural telcos this year. Now it looks like we won’t have to do that next year. ...

The new year has started out with a bang for us. We’ve been really busy, and I like that. To start out, I was in Orlando in mid January for the OPASTCO Winter Convention. We participated in the Innovation Showcase, where I got to give the GMs from different telcos a preview of DSL diagnostics we’re adding to TruVizion. We’re really excited about helping telephone ...

Are you TR-069 enabled? If not, you should be. The TR-069 CPE WAN Management Protocol looks to do for DSL what DOCSIS did for cable. The protocol provides a framework for secure auto-configuration and management of CPE devices such as DSL modems, Routers, IP STB (set top boxes) and FTTH (fiber to the home) gear. It has already been endorsed by Home Gateway Initiative (HGI), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) ...
One of the powerful features of TruVizion is the ability to pull up a customer on a local street map and relate their issue to other customers in the same area. With just a few mouse clicks or taps on a smartphone our customers have the ability to rapidly diagnose whether the source of the problem is originating at the house, the local node or back at the plant.
Maps are ...

Our winners from the I Love TruVizion Contest, Jason and Mark from Concept Cable, stopped by our booth at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo ’11 and I got a chance to have a conversation with them about how they came up with the idea for the video, how TruVizion has helped their company and what they enjoyed most about their trip to Atlanta.

Day one at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo was very successful for us. I had a chance to talk with Art Skinner, our VP of Business Development in front of a very busy ZCorum booth about his impressions of our TruVizion Cable Diagnostics software compared to what he is seeing with some of the competition. Excuse the audio. The handheld mic wasn’t working for the first part, which is why the background noise suddenly ...

As we plow through the hot, sultry days of summer, it sometimes seems like this season will never end. They call this the “Dog Days” of summer, and it’s been particularly doglike this year in the south. Still, despite the ongoing heat, I’m seeing some cues that a change is coming. Back-to-school sales always remind me that the final days of summer are upon us. Of course, as a student, ...
