CableLabs Announces Four PacketCable Certifications

CableLabs has awarded PacketCable certification status to Ambit, Cisco-Linksys, and Scientific-Atlanta for their respective multimedia terminal adapters (E-MTA).



The E-MTA is a consumer premises device in the PacketCable network architecture, and serves as a key element originating and terminating IP calls. Built on top of the DOCSIS 1.1 infrastructure, PacketCable networks use IP as the basis for its multimedia architecture.



In addition, CableLabs has awarded CableHome 1.1 certified status to two devices, one each from D-Link and Thomson Consumer Electronics. CableHome is a CableLabs-managed initiative that, coupled with cable broadband service, allows for the distribution of broadband service throughout a consumer's home. The initiative offers the consumer a secure and managed residential gateway that can be connected to the cable network in a plug-and-play fashion.http;//www.cablelabs.com
