From Tap to CPE: Strategies to Unlock DOCSIS 4.0 Performance at Scale

PNM for Capacity Additions – Methods to Support DOCSIS 4.0 Deployments and Beyond

  • Leveraging Proactive Network Maintenance (PNM) tools to evaluate new DOCSIS spectrum before activation, ensuring confident deployment
  • Presenting real-world deployment insights for 1 GHz to 1.2 GHz transitions and associated performance characteristics
  • Identifying common impairments—such as roll-off, filters, and suck-outs—without service disruption or customer impact

Pushing the HFC Frontier: Enabling 6 GHz Spectrum for the Next Generation of Connectivity

  • Explore how extending the HFC spectrum to 6 GHz enables full use of the existing assets and creates future optionality.
  • Learn how pushing to 6 GHz changes design thinking for next-generation HFC networks.
  • Examine technical challenges and design trade-offs, including impacts on passives and actives, the coax plant, and protocol specifications.
  • Get a sneak peek at CableLabs’ internal prototyping efforts and early insights into enabling extended spectrum on the HFC.

Lost in the Lack of Capacity Fog – Clear Paths to Greater Capacity

  • Outlining the evolution of access network design to meet growing capacity demands through DOCSIS 3.1 (1.2 GHz), DOCSIS 4.0 (1.8 GHz), and future 6–7 GHz specifications
  • Analyzing traffic growth trends and evaluating available capacity to guide new product planning and timing
  • Presenting strategic deployment plans to support phased implementation and scalability with each technology milestone
  • Providing a practical framework for service providers to build a more resilient, future-ready broadband network
