As the small cell densification wave is becoming a reality, mobile operators are faced with the complex task of searching for suitable backhaul solutions. This is where the hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) networks rise up to the challenge. DOCSIS networks provide three main elements critical to backhaul solutions; location, power and capacity. Mobile operators are […]

A How can my company become a CableLabs member? To be qualified for membership, a cable company must be an operator of cable-based communication systems which means systems that substantially provide, or previously substantially provided, communication services over a physical network that was founded on last-mile coaxial cable architecture connecting to subscribers. Please note member companies […]

CableLabs is hosting a free Full Duplex (FDX) DOCSIS® technology (now DOCSIS 4.0 technology) seminar , April 17–18, 2018 that will be attended by both cable operators and DOCSIS suppliers. The seminar will take place at a private events center to provide attendees with a comfortable and professional setting to learn all about Full Duplex […]

During our 2017 Winter Conference, CableLabs announced the launch of the point-to-point (P2P) Coherent Optics specification project, potentially multiplying the capacity of each existing cable access network fiber by over 100 times and possibly indefinitely deferring new fiber builds on existing routes. Now, a new CableLabs innovation, Full Duplex Coherent Optics: Doubles the bi-directional capacity […]

Last month, we announced the launch of the Remote MACPHY working group. As part of our Distributed CCAP Architecture program (DCA), the Remote MACPHY working group is comprised of operators, equipment manufacturers, and CableLabs’ engineers that help cable operators distribute their access networks. The charter is to develop one or more specifications that allow vendors’ […]

Full Duplex (FDX) DOCSIS® (now a part of DOCSIS 4.0 technology) is an update to DOCSIS 3.1 specifications that builds on the core Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology. This additional set of features significantly increases upstream capacity and allows for the same spectrum to be used as downstream or upstream. The set of MAC […]

On December 6-7, CableLabs hosted its first CableLabs Asia Summit and, by all accounts, it was a genuine success. We invited cable’s top leaders from across Asia – including our members in Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan – to come together in Shanghai to gain insight, collaborate and learn about the innovation impacting […]

The CableLabs Distributed CCAP Architecture (DCA) program is pleased to announce the recent launch of the Remote MACPHY working group. This new working group is comprised of operators, equipment manufacturers and CableLabs engineers and its charter is to develop one or more specifications that allow vendor’s Remote MACPHY solutions to interoperate when deployed. Distributed Access Architectures and […]

CableLabs Principal Architect Jason Rupe recently participated in Broadband Technology Report’s webinar “Proactive Network Maintenance (PNM) for DOCSIS 3.1.” Sponsored by SCTE/ ISBE, White Sands Engineering and VeEX, the webinar reviews PNM in the DOCSIS 3.1 context, the major benefits of PNM and how operators can best employ it. In particular, Jason discussed:  What is PNM? […]

Thank you for registering for “Enabling Cable Networks For Mobile Backhaul”. 5G networks will require the deployment of small cells much closer to the end-user than traditional macro cell networks. Because of their extensive reach, cable HFC networks are well positioned to provide connectivity to Mobile small cells for LTE and 5G networks. A collaborative […]
