At this week's Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers® (SCTE) TechExpo 2024, cable operators Charter Communications and Comcast announced an agreement with chipmaker Broadcom Inc. to develop chipsets compatible with both versions of the DOCSIS 4.0 specification: Full Duplex DOCSIS 4.0 (FDX) and Extended Spectrum DOCSIS 4.0 (ESD).
Network hardware and modems incorporating Unified DOCSIS chipsets eventually will enable downstream speeds up to 25 gigabits per second (Gbps) over existing hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) broadband facilities. In addition, they will leverage Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to improve network management and security.
