The DOCSIS 4.0 era is drawing ever nearer as such leading MSOs as Comcast, Charter, Cox, Vodafone Germany, Liberty Global and others continue to test the twin flavors of the next-gen spec in their labs and leading vendors continue to develop the amplifiers, taps, nodes, modems and other gear to support them. Where does the industry stand with both Full Duplex DOCSIS (FDX) and Extended Spectrum DOCSIS (ESD) now? When will pilot and commercial deployments begin?

In this session, we review the latest tech and field trials, equipment development progress and spectrum upgrade plans.
