CableLabs Launches 10G Challenge: Powering the Future of Broadband Innovation
What will our digital future look like? Presented by CableLabs on behalf of the cable industry, the 10G Challenge aims to answer that question, ultimately advancing innovative technologies and inventing a better future for everyone. CableLabs is committing more than $300,000 USD in prize money to six Challenge winners.
What is the 10G Challenge?
The objective of the 10G Challenge is to inspire people to envision a new, powerful broadband network as a tool to solve real-world problems. The challenge is designed to showcase the individuals and the organizations developing these technologies, services and applications that will rely on the network of the future.
Intended to support the development of those technologies, services and applications, the 10G Challenge is focused on encouraging innovation in four categories: live, work, learn and play. 10G not only provides faster symmetrical speeds but also lower latency, enhanced reliability and better security in a scalable manner. The 10G platform advances device and network performance to remain ahead of consumer demand, providing a broad range of immersive new digital experiences and other emerging technologies that will revolutionize the way we live, work, learn and play.
10G Challenge Industry Experts
The 10G Challenge will be judged, in part, by industry experts from Corning, Mayo Clinic and Zoom — four companies concentrating on leveraging technology to develop innovative new solutions in their industries.
Live (judged, in part, by Mayo Clinic): With health care being one of the largest and most significant industries in which technology can make a sizable impact, advanced technologies can help improve numerous aspects of our health and well-being. This video contains more information on what the future of health care could look like.
Work (judged by Corning): As we’ve learned over the past year-plus, smart, intuitive technologies are not only transforming how we collaborate and solve problems, but they are also boosting creativity and productivity at work. This video highlights what the future of work could look like.
Learn (judged by Zoom): From VR worlds to light field holodecks and omnipresent AI assistance, combining the right network speed with visionary thinking propels how we learn into the future. This video includes ideas detailing what the future of education could look like.
Play: Whether gaming, attending concerts, or watching our favorite movies and shows, technology will impact how we play and entertain ourselves in the near future. This video describes how the future of gaming and entertainment could look.
How To Get Involved
From forward-thinking individuals and entrepreneurial ventures to inventors, university students, or growing companies from the U.S. or Canada, the 10G Challenge encourages innovators building solutions that leverage the emerging 10G network to submit a short video demonstrating their technology or idea.
Five winning submissions will be chosen by business leaders: one winner in each category and a Grand Prize winner. The Grand Prize winner will receive $100,000 USD in the form of a cash prize to help advance their technology, while category winners will receive a non dilutive $50,000 USD cash prize. There is also a People's Choice winner who will receive a $10,000 USD cash prize.
At CableLabs, we are constantly building for the future and looking to support those who can help us revolutionize how the world lives, works, learns and plays.
