Standards program

SCTE•ISBE includes a standards program for the development of technical specifications supporting the cable telecommunications industry. The work program includes: data and telephony over cable; application platform development; digital video; emergency alert systems; energy management; network monitoring systems; cables, connectors and amplifiers; and construction and maintenance practices.[2] In 2016 SCTE•ISBE created an Internet of Things working group within the standards program.[3] A Generic Access Platform working group was created in 2018.[4]

SCTE•ISBE is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), recognized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and works in cooperation with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). More than 130 MSOs, vendors and allied organizations are SCTE Standards members.

Awards

SCTE•ISBE was announced in 2011 as a recipient of a Technology & Engineering Emmy Award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for “Local Cable Ad Insertion Technology – Cable Digital Standards for Local Cable Advertising.”[5]
