The broadband industry is experiencing a transformative moment — one defined by unprecedented collaboration, groundbreaking technology and milestone achievements that set the tone for the future of connectivity. Today, we’re excited to highlight a convergence of firsts that represent significant strides in driving scalable, interoperable and high-performance broadband networks. These advances were on full display at the […]

There are a lot of reasons to attend an industry conference. To name just a few, events like SCTE TechExpo or the recent CableLabs Winter Conference provide opportunities to: Learn about the latest technology research. Discover emerging products. Network with colleagues.  Identify technology trends. The last of these was very much evident at this year’s […]

As U.S. and global policy makers debate the future of spectrum policy, CableLabs is releasing initial results of our Wi-Fi network use analysis, which further confirms the critical need to keep the current unlicensed spectrum resources and add more soon. In short, the 6 GHz band — the key frequency band for Wi-Fi, alongside the […]

With more and more CableLabs member operators deploying or preparing to deploy ITU-T-based passive optical networking (PON) technologies such as XGS-PON, interoperability of equipment from different vendors is more important than ever. One well-known source for the lack of cross-vendor interoperability of XGS-PON equipment stems from differing implementations of the ONU Management Control Interface (OMCI) […]

The broadband industry is only as strong as the people who power it.  At CableLabs, we believe that innovation isn’t driven by technology alone — it’s driven by the people behind it. That’s why we’re focused on strengthening the industry through three key areas: collaboration, connection and preparation. By creating environments where people can exchange […]

CableLabs is proud to partner with Broadcom, Cisco, the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) and the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) to offer an open-source version of the Open Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) solution. This platform enables unlicensed devices to operate as Standard Power (SP) devices within the recently opened 6GHz band. SP devices have a higher power […]

CableLabs is pleased to announce the certification of the industry’s first DOCSIS 3.1 Plus (DOCSIS 3.1+) device supporting four orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) channels. The certified device, developed by Vantiva, represents a key milestone in advancing broadband performance and capacity for cable operators worldwide. The DOCSIS 3.1 specifications require support for at least two OFDM […]

For most consumers, staying connected to the services they rely on every day likely requires subscriptions to two separate services: a broadband service at home and another for their mobile phone when they’re away from home. What if network operators could provide a single connectivity service that ensures their subscribers’ applications and devices would work […]

Last year, we shared how CableLabs is transforming networks through open-source API solutions as part of our work in the CAMARA project. Today, we’re excited to highlight the progress made in CAMARA’s newly published spring 2025 meta-release. The new release includes significant updates across CAMARA’s expanding suite of open network APIs — and spotlights CableLabs’ […]

The future of connectivity will be built on networks that deliver seamless customer experiences. To differentiate themselves in the broadband market, operators must embrace relentless innovation and adaptive service models centered on network evolution, monetization strategies and enhanced user experiences. As networks evolve beyond traditional boundaries, CableLabs’ ongoing commitment to network platform development, standards and […]
