Abstract: A CPE device may include a plurality of CPE modules implemented in hardware. The plurality of CPE modules may include a first module and a second module. The first module and the second module may be arrangeable in a stacked configuration. The first module may include a first interconnection interface component disposed on a top surface of the first module. The second module may include a second interconnection interface component disposed on a bottom surface of the second module. The second interconnection interface component may be configured to complementarily couple to the first interconnection interface component when the first module and the second module are arranged in the stacked configuration.

Abstract: A system may include a management platform. The system may include a master system hosted by a first subscriber device that is communicatively coupled to the management platform over an external network. The system may include an agent system hosted by a second subscriber device that is communicatively coupled to the first subscriber device, and to an end-user device, over a WLAN. The agent system may be configured to cause the second subscriber device to output information regarding the end-user device. The management platform may be configured to cause one or more processors, of the management platform, to identify, based on the information, an insufficiency in network resource capacity, associated with the WLAN, for the end-user device, and provide one or more commands to the master system to cause the master system to perform an action to address the insufficiency.

Abstract: A CPE device may include a communication component that is configured to communicatively couple to a network provided by a network service provider. The network may include a management platform for facilitating deployment of updates, or facilitating provisioning of services and deployment of service applications corresponding to the services. The CPE device may host a containerized system that includes an operating system, and a plurality of containers configured to share resources of the operating system. Each container, of the plurality of containers, may be configured to contain a respective service application. The operating system may be configured to communicate with the management platform to coordinate receiving of particular updates for the containerized system or the CPE device, or to coordinate provisioning of particular services, and deployment of particular service applications corresponding to the particular services, to the CPE device.

Abstract: A network device receives, from a user device, a data packet on a first wireless channel between the user device and the network device. The network device processes the data packet based on receiving the data packet, and transmits the processed data packet to a second network device on a second wireless channel between the network device and the second network device. The network device, the second network device, and the user device are included in a local network. The first network device and the second network device are communicatively connected via a wireless full-duplex link that includes the second wireless channel and a third wireless channel. The first wireless channel, the second wireless channel, and the third wireless channel are different wireless channels.

Abstract: An approach is provided for faceted browsing of video assets. A metadata file is parsed to categorize and rank attributes corresponding to a video asset, wherein the ranked attributes are based on a criterion. A set-top box provides attribute browsing to determine selection of the video asset.

Abstract: A device receives, from one of a set-top box/digital video recorder (STB/DVR) or a user device, a request to allocate an amount of storage, and allocates the amount of storage based on the allocation request, logically extending the user's available storage. The device also receives, from the one of a set-top box/digital video recorder (STB/DVR) or a user device, a request to record content, and records the content to one or more portions of the allocated storage based on the record request.

Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and apparatuses for receiving recording recommendations through a data network are provided. The recommendations originate from sources selected by the user. Each source may send a recommendation from his or her set top box or other computing device connected to the data network. The user may establish and send recommendation instructions used to filter and prioritize the recommendations based on the source of the recommendation. The user may send the recommendation instructions from his or her set top box or another computing device connected to the data network. Based at least partially by the recommendation instructions, the set top box of the user may receive a recommendation from a source and record at least one media program subject to the recommendation.
