US cableco Mediacom Communications selected CommScope’s portfolio of end-to-end connectivity solutions to power its ‘10G’ smart home trial. Mediacom – which is conducting the tests in partnership with CableLabs and The Internet & Television Association (NCTA) – says that its network will deliver down/upload speeds of 2.4Gbps/1.3Gbps to more than 70 smart devices throughout the trial home.
The parties say that the trial will allow them to evaluate the capacity of Mediacom’s platform in supporting future home automation, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), gaming, holographic display, and consumer applications in a real-world environment.
