The DOCSIS 3.1 cable Internet standard just moved a little bit closer to
American homes, with the news today that industry research group CableLabs
has certified five new manufacturers of DOCSIS 3.1 modems.
Askey, Castlenet, Netgear, Technicolor and Ubee Interactive were all
approved by CableLabs to manufacture DOCSIS 3.1 hardware, the group said in
its announcement, which was issued less than a month after Comcast
successfully tested a modem using the new technology in a consumer
environment. CableLabs credited “highly effective collaboration” from
vendors for the quick turn-around.

DOCSIS 3.1 is said to offer the possibility of gigabit-speed connections for
home use, and Comcast has already stated that it plans to offer a gigabit
service using the technology by the end of this year. The company already
offers a 2Gbps fiber service, but it’s expensive at $300 per month and only
available in select areas.
It seems clear enough that DOCSIS 3.1 will broaden access to higher speeds,
since it uses existing copper-wire networks, though Comcast has yet to
announce pricing info for its service. For its part, CableLabs said that the
technology is important for technologies like 4K-resolution television,
telemedicine, virtual reality and gaming.
Despite the recent swift progress on the standard, DOCSIS 3.1 is the product
of a multi-year process, featuring dozens of preliminary testing events and
ongoing development by numerous stakeholders in the cable industry. Matt
Schmitt, CableLabs vice president of lab services, said in a blog post that
the group adopted an ongoing, iterative development model, allowing
manufacturers to test and update quickly.
“That cut out a lot of overhead and repetition, with the result that first
generation devices were able to reach the point of being compliant with the
DOCSIS 3.1 specifications unusually rapidly,” Schmitt wrote.
