Cablecos to Trial 10G in 2020Cable operators will launch 10G field trials later this year, CableLabs' chief research and development officer said before the kickoff of CES 2020 in Las Vegas this week. The announcement by Mariam Sorond, who recently took on the role at CableLabs, plays on last year's strategy when the cable industry took away some of the 5G hype by first announcing 10G at CES 2019. The cable initiative is a next-gen DOCSIS-based approach designed to deliver symmetric 10 Gbit/s with low latency and high security. But, reports Light Reading's Jeff Baumgartner from the event, the cable industry is not sharing many details about these 10G pilots: So far, little is known about when they will occur or how participants will implement them, he wrote. Nor is it known how HFC will expand to incorporate other fixed or wireless access network technologies like FTTP. Initial DOCSIS 4.0 specifications, which are key to 10G, should be finalized in "early 2020," said Sorond, who was former chief wireless architect and VP of technology development at Dish Network.
