Facing the prospect of competition from 5G-enabled broadband services, the cable industry is ardently pursuing an ambitious 10G (as in 10 Gbps) initiative to develop its multi-gigabit broadband prowess over a mix of HFC, fiber and wireless networks. But, even with the release of CableLabs' new DOCSIS 4.0 spec last year, it's not clear that the industry is ready to make that next great leap to symmetrical 10 Gbps service.

What will it take for cable's HFC networks to get there? What hurdles must still be surmounted?

In this session, our team of technologists will evaluate the readiness, resilience and reliability of cable networks for 10G service.
