(Telecompaper) STMicroelectronics will demonstrate its next-generation Docsis 3.1 platform supporting RDK-B broadband-enabled software stack at CES. Docsis 3.1 delivers up to 5 Gbps downstream and 2 Gbps upstream, better network capacity and energy efficiency, as well as lower latency to offer outstanding end-user experiences. Docsis 3.1 cable modems will be used by multiple system operators (MSOs) to satisfy surging consumer demand for high-speed data services such as 4K Ultra-HD, multi-screen video-streaming services, Cable IPTV, gaming, file sharing, and home security. Backward compatibility with legacy Docsis 3.0 network equipment provides operators with smooth migration paths. As operators plan to trial and introduce Docsis 3.1 equipment to their networks during 2015, ST is among the first to demonstrate a working platform.
