Certification for cable modems
Texas Instruments has received the first and only data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) 1.1 certification from Cable Television Laboratories (CableLabs)
TI's DOCSIS 1.1 solution becomes the foundation for expanding the list of offerings by cable providers, including home networking through the CableLabs CableHome project, and packet telephony and multimedia services through the CableLabs PacketCable project. With two TI-based cable modems having passed the just completed CableLabs certification wave, TI becomes the only supplier able to provide manufacturers with a complete certified DOCSIS 1.1 solution, including hardware and software.
