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 […]
