Com Hem Labs testing symmetrical broadband of over 1 Gbit/s
Com Hem Labs is conducting a test in a property in Stockholm with broadband speeds of 1.2 Gbit/s symmetrical, which means the same speed both upstream and downstream. The purpose of the test, which is done on Com Hem’s FiberCoax network, is to prepare and fine-tune the technology before commercial launch in 2019.The test is a part of the upgrade to the next generation of cable network under the international DOCSIS 3.1 standard, which in theory can provide up to 10 Gbit/s in download speeds and just over 1 Gbit/s in upload speeds. In preparation, Com Hem replaced electronics and optics in
