Comcast deploys DOCSIS 4.0 FDX amplifiers across all markets

CLAREMONT, N.C. - Comcast and CommScope (NASDAQ:COMM) announced Monday that DOCSIS 4.0 Full Duplex (FDX) amplifiers have been deployed across all Comcast operating markets, enabling multi-gigabit symmetrical speeds to millions of homes over existing connections. CommScope, whose stock has surged nearly 196% year-to-date according to InvestingPro data, continues to demonstrate strong market momentum with this rollout.

The deployment comes one year after the companies initially announced the FDX amplifier rollout as part of Comcast’s ongoing DOCSIS 4.0 network upgrade initiative.

"DOCSIS 4.0 FDX operation brings significant value to our subscribers with symmetrical multi-gigabit speeds and game changing network reliability capabilities," said Dan Rice, Vice President of Access Network Engineering at Comcast.

According to the companies, the network upgrades deliver symmetrical multi-gigabit speeds across multiple devices and support larger ingest capacity, resulting in faster and more reliable network performance. The amplifiers feature AI-driven management that automatically detects and corrects network events in real time.

CommScope has shipped nearly 10 million network amplifiers since DOCSIS 1.0 launched in 1997. The company plans to introduce amplifiers and Remote PHY Devices in the coming months that will support both 1.8 GHz Extended Spectrum DOCSIS and FDX networks with a single device.

The announcement was made ahead of SCTE TechExpo 2025, where CommScope will showcase its DOCSIS 4.0 and Unified solutions from September 29 to October 1 in Washington, D.C.
