GENT, Belgium -- The Euro-DOCSIS Certification Board (ECB) announces that in the first Euro-DOCSIS 2.0 testing wave it granted the certification status for three Euro-DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems.

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.

Furthermore, Motorola was also certified for Euro-DOCSIS 1.1 with its SURFboard SBG900E cable modem. Arris received Euro-DOCSIS 1.1 qualification for its CMTS Cadant C3. Ambit was granted Euro-DOCSIS 1.0 certification for its 08004EU cable modem.

The ECB also welcomed the German cable operator Bosch Breitbandnetze as a new member. The ECB now consists of 10 European cable operators (Bosch Breitbandnetze, Casema, Essent, Ish, NetCologne, NTL, Tele Columbus, Telenet, Telewest and UPC). In ECB, the Euro-DOCSIS Certification Board grants certification to Euro-DOCSIS 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 compliant cable modems, and the qualified status to CMTS equipment and cable modems in DVB-C set-top boxes, based on lab tests completed by tComLabs.
