RDK - NextGen CPE Engineering

Deploy | Manage | Monetize

With new trends emerging in Next Gen CPEs, broadcasters are looking for accelerated rollout of apps and OTT playouts. Broadband service providers see greater possibilities with high-speed internet and MultiWAN to ensure service continuity. WiFi is becoming the critical component of home broadband, and the in-home WiFi experience has a high linkage to the NPS.

The Post COVID Scenario has shifted the enterprise network to a geographically distributed network. Security is a concern to address the threat from vulnerabilities and ransomware to spam and targeted attacks. Vulnerability assessment has emerged as an integral part of any CPE Rollout. At the center stage of the Next Gen CPE is also the user experience and reduced operational expenses.

Opportunities & Challenges

Countries have different video standards. A solution ensuring compliance with geographic video standards, can help operators scale, manage and monetize faster. MultiWAN support across any desired access network (DSL/DOCSIS/PON) allows operators to rapidly deploy services across Geos and network types. App stores and Pre-integrated Apps addresses the need of customers, however, the accelerated development and rollout framework in the CPE stack enhances the value to the operator. Mesh, WiFi 6, and Self-care can be revolutionizing homes to offer a seamless high-speed experience.

Monetization of services is an opportunity and the same can be offered through extended enterprise networks and off-the-shelf firewalls for gateways Operators are looking for powerful actionable insights from a large volume of customer data to deliver value-added services like proactive monitoring and management of gateways. This ensures improved operational efficiency and customer experience
