DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification)

DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) is a technology that allows internet data to be transmitted over cable TV networks. It enables cable companies to deliver high-speed internet by sending data through the same coaxial cables used for cable TV. Using specialized modems and equipment, DOCSIS efficiently manages the transfer of digital information, providing reliable, fast internet connections to homes and businesses. In essence, it's the standard that makes cable internet possible, ensuring the infrastructure can handle both television signals and high-speed data simultaneously.
