NCTA Show 2009

NCTA - The Cable Show 2009

General Information

The Connected Life: More Personal, More Social, More Interactive.

We hope you were able to join Cisco at the Cable Show , April 1–3, 2009 in Washington, DC. During the three full days of networking, learning, and collaboration, we demonstrated new and exciting technology solutions to help you win in today’s competitive environment.

We demonstrated how leading cable operators are evolving networks to be media-aware IP next-generation networks, or a medianet . Your medianet allows you to deliver the Connected Life that your customers demand, helping them transparently interact with any service on any screen, anywhere, any time.

As an example of medianet technologies for the home, we also announced our next-generation Cisco Explorer 4600 and 8600 series set-tops, with HD whole-home DVR services, personal content sharing across Internet and television and content access on mobile devices.
