ON ITS WAY:
10G, THE BROADBAND NETWORK OF THE FUTURE

An array of new technologies will work together to deliver faster speeds along with enhanced capacity, reliability, and security. Already being developed and deployed, the 10G future is just around the corner.

What Is 10G? Same Network, Faster Speeds

The 10G cable broadband platform will eventually deliver superfast internet speeds of ten gigabits per second through the same networks that deliver one gig speeds to 90% of Americans today.


Millions of miles of fiber-rich broadband networks have already been deployed and new technologies are dramatically improving the data transfer rate, enabling the same networks to deliver ever-faster speeds—soon up to 10 gigabits.

Broad Access
1 of 6

Broad Access

10G services will be widely available.

Built upon existing fiber-rich infrastructure that spans most of America, 10G will be available nationwide.

Deployment of new DOCSIS technologies will improve performance of our existing networks.




Speed
2 of 6

Speed

Speeds will reach 10 gigabits per second.

Networks will transmit up to 50% more data, enabling improved quality of video conferencing, virtual reality, live gaming, and connected devices.




Low Latency
3 of 6

Low Latency

Latency or “lag” will be eliminated.

Coherent optics will enable a single fiber to handle signals moving in both directions.

Networks can support symmetrical upload and download speeds, ultimately projected to shorten response time to 1 millisecond.




Reliability
4 of 6

Reliability

Connectivity will be uninterrupted.

Advancements to Wi-Fi technologies will improve consumer connectivity, significantly reducing freezing, glitching, slowdown, or other disruption.

New practices will utilize data from Wi-Fi routers for protective network maintenance to detect and resolve any connection issues.

There will be fewer connection errors due to enterprise-level management of residential networks, detecting issues and resolving them before they become apparent.

Security
5 of 6

Security

Smarter networks will contain threats.

The advanced network management system will identify and organize connected devices to isolate security threats, preventing them from damaging the network.







Mobility
6 of 6

Mobility

5G wireless will benefit from 10G technology.

With a high-speed network that covers most of America, mobile wireless data travels over wired broadband networks, called “mobile backhaul,” to transmit calls and texts over distances.

Wireless signals will only be sent at the two endpoints, reducing strain on the mobile network and improving wireless service.

10G’s increased capacity will enhance the wireless 5G future.
