Docsis 3.0 Gear Tracker III
It's time to refresh the list of equipment that has passed muster at CableLabs
With a modem from Netgear Inc. (Nasdaq: NTGR) and a new embedded multimedia terminal adapter from Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO) entering the realm of the Docsis 3.0-certified following Certification Wave 60, it's time once again to refresh our list of CableLabs -approved "Wideband" consumer-side and headend products.
Table 1: Docsis 3.0-Certified Modems and E-MTAs

* CableLabs presently uses a tiered CMTS qualification system, awarding "Bronze," "Silver," and "Full" designations based on the product's supported features. That tiered system is expected to sunset in early 2009. |
More gear could come through Wave 60 with passing grades for Docsis 3.0, so we'll be on the lookout. Results from Wave 61 should be known by mid- to late-August.
