With the growing demand for faster and faster Internet speeds, cable operators needed a new way to offer blazing speeds without the need to replace millions of miles of existing wiring. With DOCSIS® 3.1 technology, this is finally possible.

Cable operators will be able to offer Gigabit Speeds that where once only available over fiber networks. In-fact, speeds with DOCSIS 3.1 standard could eventually reach up to 10,000Mbps (that’s 10Gps) which is over 10 times faster than the older version of DOCSIS. For decades, older cable networks have used multiple frequency bands to allow simultaneous transmission of several signals through the same coaxial cable. You can think of it like lanes on a highway where you have space between lanes to avoid interference or collisions.

Modulation techniques allow these signals to transmit data to and from the Internet to your home. Think of it like a small vehicle carrying bits of data back and forth. But now with DOCSIS 3.1 new modulation techniques allow for even more bits of data to be packed in each transmission. So more data reaches your home faster.

DOCSIS 3.1 improves the transmission methods so even more signals can be transmitted along the same cable. It's just like packing more lanes on a highway without creating any interference. So by improving both the way signals are transmitted and dramatically increasing the amount of data that can be carried, DOCSIS 3.1 technology brings the blazing fast cable Internet speeds to your home.

You can enjoy the fastest Internet downloads, streaming, gaming, & surfing speeds possible to all of the devices in your home while using your cable company's existing cable network infrastructure and wiring. Comcast has already started rolling out their gigabit XFINITY Internet service using DOCSIS 3.1. Other Cable operators like Cox also have big roll out plans in 2017. NETGEAR is leading the way with advanced new products like the CM1000 DOCSIS 3.1 compatible modem.

Ultra-fast download speeds, once a fantasy, are now a reality thanks to DOCSIS 3.1!
