DOCSIS

A fundamental enabler in connecting people around the globe, DOCSIS technology has empowered millions to live, work, learn and play. Since the days of the first DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems (CMs) almost 30 years ago, DOCSIS technology has continued to evolve, benefitting from a robust ecosystem of operators and vendors working together with CableLabs to […]

At CableLabs, we talk a lot about the importance of innovation and collaboration. These are the connecting themes in our Technology Vision for the broadband industry to drive competitiveness, scale and alignment while also cultivating technologies for the future. But there’s another critical piece of the puzzle that comes into play when we talk about […]

The era of DOCSIS®️ 4.0 networks has arrived, and the technology is providing a cost-effective upgrade option and competitive choice for cable operators on their path to symmetric multi-gigabit services. Considering this, CableLabs has conducted a comprehensive analysis of the financial implications associated with deploying and operating different access network technologies. More specifically, our analysis […]

Imagine you’re a network engineer trying to manage the capacity of your DOCSIS networks — and suddenly you’re tasked with learning a whole new set of additional tools, techniques and terminologies to manage a new type of access network: a passive optical network (PON). Now apply that complexity to the entire operations, the many involved […]

Thanks to two recent innovations, DOCSIS technology is bringing more speed to the table. First, DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem termination systems (CMTSs) can now offer more DOCSIS channels than they did just a few years ago. Second, DOCSIS 4.0 cable modems (CMs) can take advantage of those extra channels to provide even faster speeds. DOCSIS […]

What does the future look like to you? Your vision could very well be dependent on L4S—Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput—technology. A key component of the Low Latency DOCSIS® specifications, L4S is fundamental to the cable industry’s 10G initiative and underpins three of the four tenets of the multi-gigabit platform: speed, low latency and […]

Broadband just got better as cable delivers on the 10G Platform with DOCSIS® 4.0 technology that is not only faster but more cost-effective. These speeds will allow consumers to access the next generation of higher bandwidth customer applications that allow for improved telework, education, gaming, health care, social interaction, and virtual reality (VR) and augmented […]

It’s the year 2031, and the pandemic is in the past. While Dave drinks his morning coffee and reads the news, a headline catches his attention. A large quantum computer is finally operational! Suddenly, Dave’s mind is racing. After few seconds, as his heartbeat slows, he looks up into the mirror and proudly says, “Yes, […]

Over the years, CableLabs Envision Vendor Forum has become a platform for collaboration between our industry’s leaders and innovators. More than just a meeting of the minds, it is an event where cable operators and industry vendors can compare common problems, align strategies and forge a path forward toward a better future—together. Our next Envision […]

CableLabs is pleased to announce that, for the first time, a DOCSIS® 3.1 specification–compliant cable modem that includes the Low Latency DOCSIS (LLD) set of features has become CableLabs Certified. This announcement represents a major milestone on the path toward 10G because LLD support is key to improving latency on DOCSIS networks, and improving latency […]
