Advanced Upstream Blog Series Introduction In the Advanced Upstream blog series we will explore how cable operators have traditionally managed upstream bandwidth capacity planning, how market dynamics and technical innovation are driving changes, and where things are likely headed in the coming years. In this entry we will discuss the “More Bits/Hz” approach – or how […]
The Passive Optical Network (PON) is a telecommunication technology that is used to implement a point-to-multipoint architecture. In order to enable a single optical fiber, the system uses fiber optic combiners and splitters, which is then used to serve multiple end-users without the need for individual fibers between customers and the hub. The coverage range […]
5G technology is the fifth generation of wireless technology, increasing the speed and responsiveness of wireless networks globally. The 5G rollout will involve network densification, allowing businesses to enhance their coverage in dense regions high in customer traffic. In 2020 we can expect to see the 5G rollout take place, however, there are still […]
The promise of 5G deployment has transitioned from the drawing board to reality as the 5th generation of wireless technology, planned and developed for nearly a decade now, begins limited service. The race is on to secure global 5G leadership due to the number of competitive advantages that are set to follow in tow. With […]

Orthogonal frequency domain multiplexing (OFDM) and the profiles it creates can boost the speed and throughput of DOCSIS 3.1 to levels that rival fiber. But what building blocks make up OFDM and why are they important? One of the interesting aspects of DOCSIS 3.1 is its backwards compatibility with DOCSIS 3.0. The good news is […]
Cable providers have spent years trying to solve a dilemma: “Do we spend money to completely upgrade the plant or do we make due with incremental improvements to our existing plant?” Fiber is able to transport more data at higher speeds than cable, but completely replacing a cable network with fiber is cost prohibitive. Until […]
DOCSIS 3.1 includes new technologies and its implementation can be complex, so preparing the network and monitoring its performance is critical. Read on for a few tips on making the rollout as smooth as possible. Channel Bonding Pushes the Speed Limit DOCSIS 3.1 adds support for bonding 32 QAM carriers plus 2 OFDM carriers on […]
