		CableLabs is a research and development consortium of cable television system operators serving North and South America.
		Then, CableLabs, again with input from its members and industry vendors, invited vendors to bring their equipment to CableLabs to test its interoperability with other vendorsâ DOCSIS modems.
		CableLabsâ members, the leading companies in the cable industry, have been very clear in their instruction to us.

		CableLabs officials declined to say specifically when the Multimedia specification would be completed, other than to note that the advanced spec will be released "shortly." At press time, the spec was undergoing review with a pool of vendors that have signed non-disclosure agreements.
		CableLabs and its members are also attempting to create common platforms and interfaces for video-on-demand, a service that is growing in complexity as new content–subscription, "free," or otherwise–is added to the mix.
		CableLabs said that its agreement with YAS all along was to phase out YAS as a consultant and eventually rely on CableLabs staff to handle those responsibilities.

		CableLabs executives noted that the last certification waves of a year are usually smaller than the first ones.
		As previously announced, CableLabs is shifting to a more streamlined testing and approval process in 2004, with shorter, simpler, more frequent certification waves just seven weeks in length (instead of the current 12 weeks) and fees reduced by 20% or more, among other things.
		CableLabs executives expect the volume of products for testing to pick up again with Certification Wave 28 because the first rounds of a year tend to be the biggest, the fees are cheaper, equipment manufacturers are revving up more products and cable operators are eager to deploy home networking, VoIP and other advanced IP services.

	EETimes.com - CableLabs regroups for residential platform push
		CableLabs added the CableHome program in the late '90s to work on issues of distributing packet services inside the home, while the PacketCable program examined converting all services, including the aggregation of traffic from many CMTS sites, to a unified Internet Protocol network.
		As Docsis moved from 1.0 to 1.1, adding quality-of-service and secure authentication features, CableLabs executives realized there were growing dependencies between the client cable modem's behavior and the capabilities of the public HFC network.
		Already, CableLabs had helped reduce power and footprint for circuit-board manufacturers by moving to a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)-Controlled Cable Modem, or CCCM, design in which much of the memory requirements are shared in the central CMTS by several customers.

	SecuriTeam™ - Security Problem Found with Cisco UBR900 Series Routers
		Cisco has tried very hard to convince CableLabs that their approach is wrong, but have had no success.
		CableLabs standards provides a mechanism (via a DOCSIS configuration file) to automatically configure SNMP access list as the device attaches to the network.
		It is assumed (by CableLabs) that prior to this time, security is not critical since the device gets its configuration (via the DOCSIS configuration file) before anyone can do any harm.

		But CableLabs cleared a somewhat smaller percentage of DOCSIS products submitted than it did in its two previous certification waves, particularly the last one in which a whopping 34 out of 50 tested products were approved.
		Nevertheless, CableLabs officials are hopeful that at least one DOCSIS 2.0 CMTS will be submitted for approval in the next certification wave.
		CableLabs also qualified a single 1.1 CMTS from Arris, which gained approval for its Cadant C3 product.

	CommsDesign - CableLabs chooses Broadcom, GIPS codecs for PacketCable systems
		WAYNE, N.J. — CableLabs confirmed Tuesday (Aug. 2) that it has chosen Broadcom Corp. and Global IP Sound (GIPS) to provide royalty-free voice codecs for future PacketCable 1.1 and 1.0 embedded multimedia terminal adapters (EMTAs) and media gateways.
		To solve this issue and eliminate carrier confusion, CableLabs issued a request for proposal in early 2003 for a new codec option.
		On the Broadcom side, CableLabs has selected the BroadVoice16 16-bit narrowband codec that supports a frame rate down to 5 ms, which Broadcom uses for the development of its VoIP processors.

		Microsoft was one of four companies assigned to author the OCAP specifications but it lost leverage in the API battle because of clashes with other companies over IP issues, according to several sources familiar with the talks.
		CableLabs had completed the OCAP specs by midyear but wound up deadlocked on IP questions largely related to Java.
		CableLabs turned to DVB for help in resolving its IP problems, since the European group had tackled similar questions.

	CommsDesign - CableLabs chooses Broadcom, GIPS codecs for PacketCable systems
		CableLabs' PacketCable specification serves as the de-facto standard for delivering voice-over-IP (VoIP) services over a cable modem link.
		On the GIPS front, CableLabs has tapped the iLBC codec, a 15-kbit codec with a 20-ms frame rate.
		One of the reasons that interoperability becomes less of an issue is because CableLabs has mandated that both codecs be supported in media gateway designs as well as in EMTAs residing in the customer premise.
