Tech vendor CommScope said Thursday that it's close to developing hardware and software that supports both flavors of the cable industry's new DOCSIS 4.0 network standard.
Chuck Treadway, chairman and CEO of the struggling Claremont, N.C. company, told equity analysts during CommScope's Q2 earnings report that his engineers could have products such as amplifiers and nodes able to support both Full Duplex DOCSIS (FDX) and Extended Spectrum DOCSIS (ESD) by the time the annual SCTE CableTec Expo conference convenes in late September.
