Cable-technology consortium CableLabs and its subsidiary Kyrio will start their certification process for cable modems using the new DOCSIS 4.0 network standard on June 26.
DOCSIS 4.0 is the successor technology to DOCSIS 3.1, which was hoisted upon the cable industry a decade ago by CableLabs. It’s a broad grouping of technologies needed to deliver the cable industry's promise of a “10G” future — download speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second, and upload speeds as high as 6 Gbps.
