CableLabs® announced the launch of the Coherent PON (CPON) project in May 2021 toward the goal of next-generation cable’s access architecture. CPON demonstrates significant performance improvement, it can offer 10 times capacity compared to 10G PON and with the increase of 16 times in split ratio or 4 times in transmission distance, from 20km to 80km. The objective of the project is to initially develop specifications for 100G passive optical networks and devices that are multi-vendor interoperable, that coexist with existing infrastructure, and that can cost effectively be deployed at scale.

Envision Vendor Forum 2021: Optical and HFC will be unlike any other event in the network operator industry. It is dedicated to executives, senior technologists and strategists who are creating next-generation service offerings that will not only deliver unique and seamless user experiences but will do so more efficiently, more cost-efficiently, and of higher quality than today. In this short and easily consumable virtual event, you’ll hear directly from thought leaders in both the operator and vendor communities. You’ll also learn the latest updates on CableLabs projects and initiatives that will shape the specifications of the products and deployments that operators are just beginning to plan. Best of all, Q&A sessions will enable you to pose questions to people in the know.   

Soon, operators will have more choice than ever on how they move forward. This event provides a laser focus on the wired aspects of infrastructure, including next-generation passive optical network (PON) architectures, as well as next-generation hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) solutions such as DOCSIS® 4.0 technology.

CableLabs invites you to participate in the upcoming Mobile Summit focusing on Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).

The current global COVID-19 and the rise of 5G have renewed interest in FWA. As a tool, FWA accelerates the deployment of Internet-based broadband access services and support of remote-work and e-learning solutions. FWA has been in use commercially for more than 50 years in various forms, but more recent developments in technology have provided scale and lower cost options for different environments and use cases.  While the FCC is making more spectrum available (sub6GHz and mmWave), options for broadband access continue to increase for both urban and rural deployments. 

How can the cable industry successfully fend off the FWA threat and turn it into an opportunity? This question will be answered through CableLabs’ FWA innovation discussions and member insights.

CableLabs Envision will take place April 20-21, 2021, 9:00-11:30 a.m. MDT on both days.

Envision Vendor Forum 2021: Mobile and Convergence is an event dedicated to executives, senior technologists and strategists who are creating next-generation service offerings that will not only deliver unique and seamless user experiences, but will do so efficiently and at lower costs and higher quality than today. Convergence, which seeks to merge wireline and wireless technologies into a singular, multi-modal communication platform that reduces network complexity, cuts operational costs, improves quality and creates new business and service opportunities.

The ongoing introduction of new high-bandwidth applications such as cloud/edge networking, 8K video streaming services and 5G mobile transport onto the market pushes the optical access systems toward higher data rates. In contrast with other solutions, the passive optical network (PON) is the prevailing broadband optical access solution for the foreseeable future. Single-wavelength 100G PON architecture emerges as a next-generation breakthrough innovation providing the necessary flexibility and capacity to enable all service providers to stay ahead of their convergence, business and residential needs.

Third Session – Convergence

CableLabs invites you to participate in the Mobile Summit Third Session focusing on the topic of Convergence. For operators, both those operating mobile networks today and those seeking to build new mobile capability, maintaining and managing separate wireline and wireless access networks with overlapping capabilities is not only inefficient and costly, it limits the type of services they will be able to provide in the future. Convergence seeks to merge these technologies into a singular, multi-modal communication platform that will help reduce network complexity, cut operational costs, improve quality and create new business and service opportunities.
