Partners collaborate on DOCSIS 4.0 chipset
Comcast and Broadcom are working together to develop a DOCSIS 4.0 chipset that embeds AI and ML capabilities to create AI-powered access networks. The chipset will be one of the first to incorporate DOCSIS 4.0 Full Duplex (FDX), Extended Spectrum (ESD), and the ability to run both simultaneously. This flexibility will enable Internet service providers worldwide to deliver DOCSIS 4.0 services using a toolkit with technology options to meet their business needs.
“The Xfinity 10G Network leverages the latest advancements in edge compute, digital optics, and real-time, actionable telemetry to meet and exceed our customers’ constantly evolving connectivity needs,” said Elad Nafshi, chief network officer, Comcast Cable. “With this new Unified DOCSIS4 chipset from Broadcom, we can broadly deploy transformational AI network capabilities alongside symmetrical multi-gig speeds. FDX is the best technology for Comcast, but this groundbreaking unified chipset will provide the entire industry with options when upgrading their nodes, amps, and cable modems for DOCSIS 4.0.”
The Unified DOCSIS4 chipset uses AI and ML to:
Provide network diagnostics insights produced by both local and cloud AI;
Enhance monitoring and issue detection using bandwidth-efficient telemetry data;
Improve network maintenance using real-time issue localization, plus predictive and self-healing network intelligence;
Protect network facilities and customers with improved cybersecurity intrusion detection; and
Monitor home IoT devices for connectivity disruptions.
The companies expect to begin trials early in 2024 and to begin deploying the new chipset in live networks before the end of the same year.
