Today's consumers have an insatiable appetite for high-quality video and data services.

"From greater workflow efficiency to increased scalability and a faster time to market for revenue-generating video and broadband services, our software-based and cloud-native solutions offer significant benefits that we are excited to showcase at CCBN."
