Here's a question worth asking: when was the last time you picked an internet provider because of its top speed, and when was the last time you stuck with one because it never let you down?
That second answer is exactly what CableLabs Executive Advisor Thomas Nogues will explore at Network X 2026 in Vienna, Austria. His Innovator Address, "The Reliability Revolution: Why Uptime Trumps Bandwidth," takes place tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 4:25 p.m. CEST. He'll look at how coax and fiber networks are built around resilience, how providers measure reliability and how consistent service earns customer loyalty.

#TechExpo26 may be a wrap, but the AI conversations are still going! We asked our CableLabs colleagues a simple question: What's the most under-hyped AI capability?
Some pointed to self-healing Wi-Fi, and others to personal assistants that keep getting more capable. One of our lawyers wants AI to help dig through long standards (we get it!).
Next stop: CableLabs Tech Summit! The best conversations happen when the industry gets in a room together. Join fellow experts to move ideas from the show floor into action April 13–15, 2027, in Westminster, Colorado. Mark your calendar today ⤵️

Siri, play "One Step Closer" by Linkin Park 🎸 CableLabs Principal Architect Ben Hepworth brought the moves, and the perfect song, to open "Edge AI in Practice: Deploying Intelligent Systems Across Access Networks" at #TechExpo26!
Once the music stopped, Hepworth opened up the stage for Asaf Matatyaou, SVP of Product at Harmonic, and Arun Ravisankar, Principal Engineer at Comcast, to talk AI at the edge, covering how operators deploy small language models, neural networks and MCP servers on resource-constrained edge devices, all while keeping humans in the loop.
Right now on the Intelligence Stage at #TechExpo26, two CableLabs experts are shaping the conversation on AI-ready networks.
CableLabs Senior Director Paul Fonte joined an operator panel on building distributed, virtualized and software-defined access architectures ready for AI at scale. Then AI/ML Engineer Megan Collins takes the stage to present new work on edge AI, agentic AI and MCP, exploring how these tools move from research to real deployments on broadband networks.
