A year ago, CableLabs issued a challenge to individuals and organizations to think big – they launched the 10G Challenge, asking innovators to imagine technologies that the emerging 10G network will make possible. At SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2022 they announced the winners, those with the outstanding ideas to leverage the four pillars of the multi-gigabit platform: faster internet speeds, better security, lower latency, and improved reliability.
