At IAPP Privacy. Security. Risk. (PSR) 2025, Dr. Daniel Smullen, Principal Privacy Research Engineer at CableLabs, will speak on October 31 from 2:15–3:15 PM in San Diego, CA. He will join the panel “AI’s Best Friend: The Role of PETs”—a conversation on how Privacy-Enhancing Technologies like federated learning, differential privacy and homomorphic encryption can strengthen privacy protections while accelerating AI innovation.

The broadband industry is entering a new era, one where speed alone isn’t enough. Subscribers expect networks that are seamless, secure, adaptive and intelligent. CableLabs is proud to introduce two groundbreaking initiatives designed to meet and exceed those expectations: 🌐 Seamless Connectivity Service (SCS) – A “connectivity that just works” experience, unifying Wi-Fi, cellular, fiber, satellite and more under one simple, secure service. 📡 Mobile Optionality (MO) – A smarter, more cost-efficient way to deliver 5G using existing HFC infrastructure, boosting mobile performance and expanding reach. Together, these innovations lay the foundation for a unified, intelligent network ecosystem, enabling operators to deliver the next generation of broadband experiences. Join us on Thursday, Oct. 30 for an exclusive members-only webinar to explore how SCS and MO can transform connectivity and unlock new revenue opportunities. https://cablela.bs/493treI

Congratulations Aabriti Shrestha, on this well-deserved recognition! We’re proud to have such inspiring talent representing CableLabs and the cable and broadband industry 👏 🎉

Today’s Wi-Fi networks are bound by location. Yet we live in a world where devices can drive cars, monitor health and run entire businesses. So why do they still struggle to connect when we leave the house? Context-Aware Networks (CANs) offer a smarter path forward. They recognize devices, users and policies so your connectivity follows you — at home, in a hotel or on the road. Learn how CANs could reshape the way we think about connectivity

The encryption algorithms that protect critical infrastructure today could be vulnerable in the not-so-distant future. That’s why enabling cryptographic agility and migrating to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) are essential steps to keep broadband networks, and the people who rely on them, secure. Through our Future of Cryptography Working Group, CableLabs is collaborating with operators, vendors and industry experts to chart a clear path to quantum-safe security. As we recognize #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, now is the time to prepare for tomorrow’s threats today. There's no time like now to get involved: https://cablela.bs/4h3JICg

We’re still thinking about all the coffee, swag and fun from #TechExpo25 🤩 Now we’re already looking ahead to what’s next. We can’t wait to see everyone next year in Atlanta, and even sooner at the CableLabs members-only Tech Summit this April in Westminster. Mark your calendars for April 27-30; it’s going to be another can’t-miss opportunity to connect, innovate and celebrate! https://cablela.bs/4n0Mkm3

As the seasons change, it’s also a good time to focus on something that never goes out of season... cybersecurity! 🍂 🔐 October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a reminder that staying secure online is everyone’s responsibility. This year, ransomware remains one of the most persistent and evolving threats to networks worldwide. At CableLabs, we’re working with partners like Messaging, Malware, Mobile Anti-Abuse Working Group (M3AAWG) to help the broadband industry prepare for and respond to ransomware attacks. Our latest blog post explores how threat actors are changing tactics, how law enforcement is stepping up and how new best practices can help organizations strengthen their defenses. https://cablela.bs/3WrNagA

Dr. Daniel Smullen is heading to NYC, the city of dreams, to bring big ideas and spark big conversations on privacy! Catch him at the inaugural IEEE Symposium on Privacy Expectations (ISoPE) on Oct 10, 2025 (8:45–9:45 AM ET), in person and virtual from Club 101, NYC. He’ll share how the Privacy Preference Declaration (PPD) makes smart-home privacy settings clear, consistent and easy to manage.

As Energy Efficiency Day comes to a close, we’re celebrating the quiet climate wins happening in our homes. Set-top boxes and home network equipment are becoming dramatically more efficient — thanks to voluntary industry agreements led by CableLabs and our partners. ✅ U.S. agreements extended through 2028 ✅ Expanded to cover Fixed Wireless Access devices, with T-Mobile joining ✅ 99% of new internet devices already meeting the latest energy targets ✅ Set-top box energy use down 73% since 2012 — cutting billions in costs & emissions Learn how these voluntary agreements are driving measurable climate impact and happy #EEDAY 🌱 https://cablela.bs/46Jqddy
