2021 Cable-Tec Expo to Be in Person

The 2021 Cable-Tec Expo is anticipated to be an in-person event and is scheduled for Oct. 11-14 in Atlanta, the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers said Monday. This year's Cable-Tec Expo Virtual Experience is underway. In a talk Monday, Cisco Cable Access business Chief Technology Officer John Chapman said there are "too many [technology] choices" for building future broadband networks. He said DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1 systems are being deployed now, and the extended spectrum and full spectrum versions of DOCSIS 4.0 likely will be available in 2022 or 2023.
