What makes a strong broadband industry? ANSI-accredited standards that set the foundation for reliability, innovation, and global alignment. ANSI accreditation ensures that standards meet rigorous benchmarks for quality, efficiency, and scalability—essential for powering millions of reliable broadband connections. These standards drive interoperability, advance next-gen technologies, and prepare the industry for a connected future. As the only ANSI-accredited standards-making body for cable-specific technologies, SCTE works collaboratively with member organizations and industry stakeholders to develop technical specifications that ensure alignment and drive broadband innovation. Learn more about why ANSI-accredited standards matter.
