Comcast and Broadcom will create the first AI-powered access network in history using a cutting-edge new chipset.
Today, Comcast and Broadcom announced their collaboration to create the first AI-powered access network in history. This will be accomplished through the development of a new chipset, which will integrate machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) into the modems, amps, and nodes that make up the final few kilometers of Comcast’s network. Comcast will be able to revolutionize its operations by automating more network processes and providing a better customer experience through the use of better and more actionable intelligence once these new capabilities are widely implemented throughout the network. Furthermore, the new chipset will be the first in the world to support both DOCSIS 4.0 Full Duplex (FDX) and Extended Spectrum (ESD) concurrently, allowing Internet service providers all over the world to offer DOCSIS 4.0 services with a portfolio of technological choices that meet options to meet their business needs.
