Last week, CableLabs Distinguished Technologist Steve Jia posted a blog “Doubling up on Fiber Capacity: A Winning Strategy for Full Duplex Coherent Optics.” In that blog, Steve describes how the CableLabs Full Duplex Coherent Optics innovation doubles the bi-directional capacity of each cable access network fiber, multiplies the capacity of each existing access network fiber […]

Application developers drive cloud-platform innovation by continuously pushing the envelope when it comes to defining requirements for the underlying platform. In the emerging application programming interface (API) and algorithm economy, developers are leveraging a variety of tools and already-built services to rapidly create new applications. Edge computing and Internet-of-Things (IoT) use cases require platforms that […]

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’ […]

Spectrum is the bandwidth in the sky that has fueled our wireless technology revolution. However, there’s been a lot of talk about spectrum shortages recently. With an essential resource in such high demand, the focus has become how do we free up more spectrum and make the best of what we have? Now, meet the […]
