Future Look: Mediacom Shows Off 10G Smart Home in Iowa

摘要

Folks got a first look at what a future with 10G could look like last week at Mediacom’s 10G Smart Home in Ames, Iowa. The event represented the first US field trial of the 10G platform, with Mediacom CTO JR Walden lauding the tech as extremely scalable within existing network infrastructure. Mediacom worked with CommScope and other tech companies to move 10G from a laboratory concept to a real world consumer experience. CommScope provided the broadband architecture and network solutions that connected the home’s various applications together and a 10G performance app illustrating how bandwidth was being used in the smart home. “They were basically standing up a 10G-capable network and delivering the highest speed over an HSD network to a house that any cable operator has done, at least that I’m aware of,” CableLabs director, immersive media experiences Debbie Fitzgerald told CFX.
