RDK Rides the Adoption Wave
Multichannel – October 18, 2017
After starting out as a video-centric platform, the Reference Design Kit (RDK) has branched off to support broadband gateways as well.
The RDK, a preintegrated software platform for IP-connected set-tops and gateways managed by Comcast, Liberty Global and Charter Communications, has been ramping its adoption curve as more service providers lean on it for their next-gen services and a growing group of vendors add support.
To catch up on all things RDK, Multichannel News recently caught up with Steve Heeb, president and GM of RDK Management LLC. An edited transcript follows.
Multichannel News: Can you offer an update on RDK stats in terms of overall licensees as well as service providers that are on board?
