CableLabs has named Mark Bridges president, effective Aug. 1, 2026, with plans for him to add the CEO title on Jan. 1, 2027, succeeding Phil McKinney after his 14 years leading the organization.
Bridges steps into this moment with 16 years at CableLabs and nearly three decades in communications and software, most recently as EVP and CTO guiding work in cloud-native architectures, network convergence and AI.
McKinney, who is retiring, joined CableLabs in 2012 from Hewlett-Packard, where he served as chief technology officer. Over his 14 years, he grew CableLabs from 19 North American operator members into a global organization of more than 50 companies, brought SCTE into the fold in 2021 and led the development of DOCSIS 3.1 and DOCSIS 4.0 technology. The patent portfolio grew from fewer than 70 patents to more than 1,000 under his watch. He will stay fully engaged through the end of 2026 and continue advising the board and Bridges in 2027, to support a seamless leadership transition,
"I am proud of what this team has accomplished and confident in where Mark will take it next," McKinney said.

Something as fundamental as an optical network unit (ONU) registering with an optical line terminal (OLT) can't be taken for granted in a multi-vendor world.
That's exactly why CableLabs brings OLT and ONU suppliers together in one lab, pairing devices across vendors to uncover the subtle differences that only show up in real-world testing. It's hands-on collaboration you won't find anywhere else.

What if adding a new optical network unit (ONU) to your network just worked? That's the goal! 🎯
Every round of interop testing at CableLabs brings the industry closer to true plug-and-play operation across vendors. More device pairings, more code iterations and more confidence for operators deploying at scale.

Building to spec is one thing. Making it all work together? That's where the real challenge begins. 🔌
John Bevilacqua, Principal Architect of FTTP Technologies at CableLabs, explains why interoperability between optical line terminal (OLT) and optical network unit (ONU) vendors isn't guaranteed out of the box and what it takes to get multi-vendor XGS-PON deployments right.

Where does the intelligence in an AI-native network actually live? Right at the edge.
Paul Fonte of CableLabs breaks down why running lightweight AI directly on network components isn't just faster. It also keeps the in-home experience private, secure and personalized.

Networks work great most of the time, but what about that 0.1% when they don't? 🤔
Paul Fonte, Senior Director of Future Infrastructure Group at CableLabs, explains how AI-native networks help operators cut through massive amounts of telemetry data to pinpoint exactly what matters and build smarter networks from there.
