It has also granted certification for one Euro-DOCSIS 1.0 and one Euro-DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem and the Euro-DOCSIS 1.1 qualification status to one CMTS in Euro-DOCSIS Certification Wave 13. To date, 10 Euro-DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems from 6 suppliers are certified and 11 Euro-DOCSIS 1.1 CMTSs from 6 suppliers are qualified. Additionally, the one Euro-DOCSIS 1.0 modem brings the number of certified Euro-DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems to 40.
Motorola and Scientific Atlanta are the two vendors with the first certified Euro-DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems. Motorola was successful with two modems, SURFboard SB5100E and SBG900E, the latter with a wireless interface. The WebSTAR EPC2100 of Scientific Atlanta also received the Euro-DOCSIS 2.0 certified status.
