CableLabs awarded PacketCable qualification status to three companies and PacketCable certification status to one company that participated in its recently concluded Certification Wave 29. Motorola received certification for an embedded multimedia terminal adapter (E-MTA) and qualification for a PacketCable 1.1 cable modem termination system (CMTS). Qualification status for a media gateway (MG) was awarded to both AudioCodes and General Bandwidth.
The media gateway is a critical element in the PacketCable network architecture. It serves as an interconnection point where IP voice calls originating from a cable subscriber are terminated and handed off to the public telephone network. http://www.cablelabs.com
