ARRIS, Monday unveiled its first DOCSIS 3.1 modems - CM8200 and SB8200 - for operators and retailers that are capable of providing gigabit speeds in the home. These devices complement ARRIS's globally deployed DOCSIS 3.1 network portfolio.
ARRIS said that the new Touchstone CM8200 is a dedicated cable modem for operators and retailers that can deliver data rates of more than 5 Gbps downstream and 2 Gbps upstream. It comes with switchable filters with full 204MHz upstream and 1218MHz downstream to support reliable gigabit performance, while reducing interference in the home network.
The SB8200 modem offers the same DOCSIS 3.1 performance and features as the CM8200, but is intended for retail customers, who can take advantage of its 32x8 QAM channel bonding capabilities on DOCSIS 3.0 cable systems, said ARRIS.
