Motorola unveiled its line of DOCSIS 3.0-based customer premises equipment (CPE) designed to work with the Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 CMTS platform and other DOCSIS 3.0-qualified CMTS industry solutions. Motorola has announced several pre-DOCSIS 3.0 commercial deployments to date.
Motorola said it is supporting all DOCSIS 3.0 features, including channel bonding, IPv6, and advanced encryption services. The modems enable channel bonding of up to four downstream channels and four upstream channels, which allows an operator to offer their customers advanced multimedia services with data throughput approximating 160 Mbps in DOCSIS mode and 195 Mbps in Euro-DOCSIS mode — all without upgrading the HFC plant.
The new line up includes:
- Motorola SB6120 SURFboard Cable Modem — supports data throughput approximating 160 Mbps in DOCSIS mode and 195 Mbps in Euro-DOCSIS mode, without the need for a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) plant upgrade. It supports all DOCSIS 3.0 standards including channel bonding, both IPv4 and IPv6, and advanced encryption services.
- Motorola SBV6120 SURFboard Digital Voice Modem — Builds on the SB6120 and offers up to two lines of full-featured digital voice service.
- Motorola SBV6220 SURFboard Digital Voice Modem — Builds on the SBV6120 and offers Lithium-ion battery backup, which can provide backup power during a power outage.
Motorola’s DOCSIS 3.0 SURFboard CPE can be self-installed through the product’s intuitive rear panel icon and color coding connection guide. Troubleshooting is simplified via the product’s front-panel operational status LEDs. Operators can also optionally activate dual-colored LEDs for their customer to have visual verification of bonded channels and GigE link use.
Motorola’s DOCSIS 3.0 CPE line is also designed for Service Assurance — Quality of Service (QoS) at the edge of the network — and is compatible with Motorola’s NBBS Device Management Platform and with Motorola’s eCare web-enabled interactive support solution.http://business.motorola.com/ultrabroadbandsolutions/home.html
