Cable television network operators are readying themselves for customers to pull fibre deeper into their networks, finds Andy Extance
Consumer hunger for better broadband is driving greater penetration of optical technology in HFC and full-fibre networks, finds Andy Extance
Not-for-profit research and development lab, CableLabs has released the DOCSIS 4.0 specification, including full duplex and extended spectrum capabilities.
CableLabs has published two new specifications to ‘dramatically increase’ capacity of the fibre access network with point-to-point coherent optics technology, allowing for 100Gb/s per wavelength.
Using amplitude, phase, and polarisation to enable much higher fibre capacities, coherent optics can help to improve streaming, video conferencing, file uploads and downloads and future usage needs for technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, and by gaining more capacity from existing fibres, the need to lay more can be eliminated.
CableLabs is spearheading efforts to develop a proposal that uses coherent optics to dramatically boost the capacity of hybrid fibre coaxial networks, reports Andy Extance
