CableLabs Certifies New CableHome 1.1 Devices

CableHome 1.1 certification has been awarded to four devices, one each from Cisco-Linksys and Netgear, and two from Zyxel. CableLabs also re-certified a CableHome 1.1 device from Thomson.

CableLabs Certified or CableLabs Qualified means that the device has passed a series of tests for compliance with the indicated version of the CableHome Specification and has thus demonstrated interoperable functionality with any other "CableLabs certified/qualified" device.

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, offloading much of the technical burden inherent in home networking from the consumer to the cable operator.

CableHome 1.1 retains the benefits of the CableHome 1.0-managed residential gateway and adds residential gateway security features, introduces standardized prioritized quality-of-service (QoS) for home local area networks (LANs), and adds support for home servers, telecommuters and home offices.
