As fiber networks continue to evolve to meet the demands of next-generation connectivity, a new data security issue has emerged. The security of modern cryptographic systems relies on the computational complexity of intractable mathematical problems, for which it takes an impractically long time to solve using classical computers. Take two key exchange algorithms as examples. […]

The future of broadband will be defined by the decisions we make now on access network evolution, customer experience, automation, security and spectrum. At CableLabs Tech Summit 2026, industry leaders will come together to align on those decisions. Built around the Technology Vision, Tech Summit is where strategy meets execution, bringing member operators and vendor […]

DOCSIS® technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Cable operators have continued deploying DOCSIS technology and providing high-speed internet services to hundreds of millions of customers around the world. The year 2025 was exciting for cable networks, both in terms of deployments of new technology and continued innovation in the development of technology for the next quarter […]

Broadband is entering a new phase defined by how networks perform at scale, support seamless experiences, and adapt as both demand and threats evolve. Over the past year, CableLabs has focused on technologies highlighted in its Technology Vision, a roadmap to prepare the industry for this next era of broadband innovation. In 2025, CableLabs made […]

As AI workloads become more distributed and latency-sensitive, the network edge is emerging as a strategic differentiator for broadband operators. With infrastructure that already spans from customer premises equipment to headends and regional data centers, operators are uniquely positioned to host edge compute, including advanced edge AI, in ways that reduce cost, improve performance and […]

For years, the broadband industry’s innovative energy focused on speed: faster downloads, higher throughput, more gigabits per second. But as online activity has been woven more deeply into the fabric of daily life, user expectations have shifted. Today’s success metrics place less emphasis on speed and more on quality, reliability and seamless experiences that adapt […]

The broadband industry is evolving at unprecedented speed. As networks become more intelligent, adaptive and context-aware, collaboration is key to shaping what comes next. CableLabs Tech Summit 2026 is where that collaboration takes shape — connecting strategy with execution to accelerate innovation and scale what works.  Building on the legacy of CableLabs Winter Conference, Tech Summit deepens the dialogue — […]

CableLabs has strengthened its role in the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), becoming a Promoter Member and joining the Board of Directors. As smart homes become smarter and fill with more connected devices, the need for secure, reliable and interoperable devices has never been greater. Our expanded role enables us to help shape the standards that […]

Our final Interop·Labs event of 2025 was held last month at CableLabs headquarters in Louisville, Colorado. As with prior events, the week focused on interoperability aspects of the ONU Management and Control Interface (OMCI), defined via a combination of ITU-T Recommendation G.988 and the CableLabs Cable OpenOMCI specification. This event continued our approach of pairing […]

Proactive network maintenance (PNM) continues to make inroads on its goals of reducing troubleshooting time and cost while reducing the impact of network impairments on customer service. The broadband industry achieves this through grassroots efforts developed and shared by participants in two working groups. This global ecosystem of vendors and operators share their ideas, efforts […]
