CableLabs participates in more than 30 unique standards organizations, industry consortia, and open source efforts.  CableLabs is focused on developing innovative technologies, not only in the performance of cable’s hybrid fiber coax (HFC) networks, but also in many areas that extend beyond the traditional cable network, including wireless (both licensed and unlicensed), cybersecurity, network function […]

Today, CableLabs is announcing another addition to our family of Point-to-Point Coherent Optics specifications:  The Physical Layer 2.0 (PHYv2.0) specification. This new specification defines interoperable point-to-point (P2P) coherent optics links running at 200 Gbps (200G) on a single wavelength. Just 9 months ago, in July of 2018, CableLabs announced the release of the P2P Coherent […]

In our recently published blog post, we demonstrated why indoor femtocells have reemerged as an attractive deployment model. In particular, indoor network densification has huge potential for converged cable/wireless operators who can leverage their existing Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) footprint to either backhaul from full-stack femtocells or fronthaul from virtual Radio Access Network (vRAN) remote […]

With the release of any new generation, or “G,” in the cellular world, the goal is always to outperform the previous generation when it comes to spectral efficiency—that is, how many bits you can pack into your slice of airwaves. To telecom nerds, this is expressed as bits per second per hertz (bps/Hz). Going from […]

Executive Summary Cable broadband service is typically provided over a network consisting of both optical fiber and coaxial cable – a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) network – as well as wireless connectivity. These networks are widely deployed globally and capable of providing the broadband speeds needed to stay well ahead of consumer demand today and […]
