DOCSIS 2.0 Compliance
In December, 2004, the C4 Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) received DOCSIS® 2.0 requalification by CableLabs®
with the new software upgrade designed to support DOCSIS Set-top Gateway (DSG) technology. With this qualification, the
C4 CMTS, configured with the higher density 2Dx12U CAM provided the most reliable and scalable C4 CMTS solution
available.
The C4 CMTS supports DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway (DSG), allowing operators to transition the signaling, provisioning, and
control of advanced set-top boxes from proprietary to standards-based protocols. This transition of all services to IP-based
standards is expected to streamline operations and lower capital costs for cable operators.
