CableLabs previewed its Full Duplex (now a part of DOCSIS 4.0 technology) Innovation earlier this month, announcing details that would enable operators to deliver symmetrical multi-gigabit speeds. More details available from these publications: MultiChannel News Broadband Technology Report      

Building on state of the art technology, ongoing DOCSIS 3.1 technology deployments have squarely set the cable industry on the path to deliver Gigabit services over HFC networks. But there’s more to come! A newly unveiled project at CableLabs illustrates how DOCSIS 3.1 technology provides the basis for continued evolution of system capacities by supporting […]

Modern networks deliver impressive speeds — often reaching gigabits per second — yet they still suffer from unpredictable delays that can disrupt interactive applications. Whether it’s video conferencing, cloud gaming or remote collaboration, these inconsistencies can lead to frustrating user experiences. As network operators strive to enhance reliability and responsiveness, a more effective solution is […]

CableLabs thought leaders will take center stage at the upcoming Cable Next-Gen Technologies & Strategies Conference, March 24-26 in Denver, participating in multiple panel discussions and delivering a keynote address on AI and the future of the cable industry. Dr. Kyle Haefner, Principal Architect at CableLabs, will deliver a compelling keynote address on artificial intelligence […]

As the global adoption of emerging technologies continues to intensify vulnerability to cyber threats, now is a good time to remind ourselves of CableLabs’ ongoing efforts to keep everyone secure. CableLabs takes pride in making every online experience safer and more efficient, expanding the ways enterprises can operate and improving the ways we all individually […]

All too often, people equate the word “cable” with “coax” (aka coaxial cable), the insulated copper cable that cable companies have historically used to connect devices around the world and deliver information and entertainment. “Cable,” however, isn’t just made of metal but also of glass: fiber-optic cable (aka fiber). The use of fiber in cable […]

The days of measuring network performance by speed alone are long gone. Nearly six years ago, the broadband industry launched its 10G initiative, setting in motion significant achievements toward the widespread availability of a future-ready network capable of much more than multi-gigabit speeds. CableLabs has delivered on every commitment of the initiative since, and we […]

The future of broadband hinges on seamless, adaptive connectivity. CableLabs’ Technology Vision establishes the framework that will get us there by driving innovation and collaboration among our members, industry vendors and other stakeholders. As we take the next step toward a future of context-aware connectivity and adaptive networks, the industry needs a healthy, collaborative ecosystem […]

Reliability is the new standard for customer experiences, outpacing speed as the metric users care about most. According to 2023 consumer research, reliable broadband is the second most important consideration for people considering a home purchase, and a study by CyLab at Carnegie Mellon University found that users want to know how their broadband will […]

Still trying to attract customers based on ever-increasing gigabit speeds? That may not be enough to gain a competitive advantage in today’s broadband industry. We’re entering a new era — one in which the market prioritizes seamless connectivity over technical metrics. Users want technology that will work everywhere all the time, with no disruptions. It […]
