FROM THE INDUSTRY
Moreover, combining DOCSIS FDX and FDD capabilities as well as fibre technologies such as GPON, XGSPON and future 25G and 50G PON in a single, virtualised broadband platform enables operators to meet evolving subscriber expectations by allowing for flexible deployment, efficient network upgrades and improved use of both DOCSIS and fibre assets. With integrated AI and cloud tools, networks can adapt to real-time demands, ensuring resilient performance for modern broadband applications. A Unified DOCSIS 4.0 strategy supports sustainable growth and positions networks for future requirements, making it a practical solution for ongoing broadband evolution.
Unifying DOCSIS and Fibre for Next-Generation Broadband By embracing a Unified DOCSIS 4.0 strategy, broadband service providers can adapt to changing usage patterns and new application demands. As the expansion of fibre deployments continues, aligning management of DOCSIS and fibre services becomes increasingly valuable. Edge compute, artificial intelligence and cloud-based management further enhance the adaptability and responsiveness of modern networks, enabling operators to offer reliable, high-quality broadband experiences across diverse technologies without making extensive infrastructure changes. Virtualised broadband platforms allow operators to support DOCSIS, fibre and a hybrid combination of both deployment technologies from a single operational interface, facilitating resource allocation and simplifying operational processes. This integration makes it possible to maintain a consistent level of service quality for subscribers, regardless of the underlying network medium.
