10G
10G Milestones Help Chart a Path Forward to Intelligent, Adaptive Networks

Key Points
- CableLabs and its member operators achieved major milestones in 2024, advancing technologies that support the four key pillars of the 10G platform: increased reliability, lower latency, enhanced security and faster speeds.
The days of measuring network performance by speed alone are long gone. Nearly six years ago, the broadband industry launched its 10G initiative, setting in motion significant achievements toward the widespread availability of a future-ready network capable of much more than multi-gigabit speeds. CableLabs has delivered on every commitment of the initiative since, and we continued that momentum in 2024.

Technology Vision
Building Adaptive, Resilient Networks: Network Platform Evolution

Key Points
- Network platform evolution, one of three core themes within CableLabs’ Technology Vision, advances the evolution of core technologies that will help achieve a future-proof network with more capacity and expanded capabilities. This video explains more.
The internet has become an integral part of the daily experience for most people. From work meetings to school projects to entertainment, consumers need reliable, flexible network solutions that can support the demands of today’s digital experience.
Network platform evolution involves expanding network capabilities while remaining cost effective. Innovations in core technologies like DOCSIS®️, coherent passive optical networking (CPON) and low latency will create networks that are self-configuring, self-scaling, self-optimizing and self-healing.
Watch the video below to learn how CableLabs is advancing the evolution of network platforms and architectures as one of the key pillars of our Technology Vision.

Ultimately, innovations in network performance will expand capacity, performance and reliability to create a flexible network that can identify problems and provide solutions on its own. CableLabs is working to make this future a reality by bringing members and industry partners together to push boundaries of what's possible and achieve remarkable outcomes.
