The journey to DOCSIS® 4.0 just hit its first major checkpoint. Multiple cable modem devices across two chipset platforms have achieved DOCSIS 3.1 Verified for Interoperability (VFI) status through the CableLabs Certification program — the critical first checkpoint on the path to full DOCSIS 4.0 certification. Before devices can advance to DOCSIS 4.0, they must first prove stable, multi-vendor interoperability on today’s networks. That’s exactly what VFI validates, and it’s a milestone built on industry-wide collaboration 💪 Learn more about the DOCSIS 4.0 certification journey ⬇️ cablela.bs/4vhvJz9

The future of connectivity isn’t one-size-fits-all. Differentiated services are enabling smarter, more adaptive networks that can anticipate user needs, unlock new revenue opportunities and deliver more personalized experiences at scale. At CableLabs, we’re helping define what comes next, and it’s already underway. cablela.bs/4vfkcA8

This week, CableLabs Lead Architect Dr. Hao Guo, will present at #IEEEVTC2026 on June 11 in Nice, France. His paper introduces LarS-Net, a cost-effective large-scale spectrum sensing network supporting dynamic spectrum sharing for future wireless systems. This was a team effort with CableLabs colleagues Dr. Ruoyu Sun, Dr. Rahil Gandotra and Mark Poletti, plus collaborators at NC State and Ohio State. cablela.bs/4vATLon

Connectivity should move with you, not hold you back. From work calls to gaming to streaming your favorite shows, today’s experiences demand networks that adapt in real time. With differentiated services, connectivity becomes personalized, responsive and reliable, so it’s there when it matters most, wherever life takes you. Speed is no longer the differentiator. Experience is. See what's possible. cablela.bs/4wMSz2Z

What does the future of network experience really look like? With AI-powered optimization, self-healing networks, and real-time adaptability, we’re enabling networks that anticipate, not just respond. The result: seamless, context-aware experiences that evolve with users and devices in the moment. cablela.bs/3Q3R3J1

Two CableLabs experts. Two sessions. One conversation about the future of connected standards. Jason Page and Brian Scriber will both speak at Unify 2026 (June 16–18, Austin, TX), hosted by @csaiot. From open standards ecosystems to hands-on Matter contribution, they'll be sharing insights at the forefront of interoperability and broadband innovation. cablela.bs/4dTyb7G

SIT (Seminario Internacional de Tecnología), held May 19–21, is Telecom Argentina's annual engineering conference, now in its 15th year. The event attracts more than 3,500 Telecom Argentina technical staff, along with many virtual attendees. Regional cable operators from across Latin America and the SCTE CALA Chapter are also represented. CableLabs had two keynote speeches, Jon Schnoor presented the latest CableLabs work in FTTP specifications and testing, and Neeharika Jesukumar highlighted CableLabs work in Wi-Fi standards and cable working groups aimed at improving in-home Wi-Fi experience. Telecom Argentina is the largest cable and mobile operator in Argentina and has collaborated with CableLabs for many years.

Karthik Sundaresan zooms out from the speed milestones to explain what the DOCSIS® core network actually enables — the data hooks that let wireless services, adaptive experiences and self-optimizing capabilities build on top of the network. This is the part of the roadmap that doesn’t always make the headlines.

One moment from the full interview that deserves its own spotlight. 🎙️ Active specification work is already underway to extend DOCSIS® 4.0 spectrum from 1.8 GHz to 3 GHz — with the potential to unlock 15–16 Gbps downstream for operators. The conversation is already moving toward 6 GHz from there.
