CableLabs Announces Four PacketCable Certifications
Credit Pacific Service Union LOUISVILLE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 16, 2004--CableLabs(R)
announced today that it has awarded PacketCable(TM) certification
status to three companies -- Ambit, Cisco-Linksys, LLC, and
Scientific-Atlanta -- in its recently concluded Certification Wave
30. The wave only tested embedded multimedia terminal adapters
(E-MTA). A total of four E-MTAs were awarded certified status --
two products from Cisco-Linksys were certified in addition to one
each from Ambit and Scientific-Atlanta.
The E-MTA is a consumer premises device in the PacketCable network
architecture, and serves as a key element originating and
terminating Internet Protocol (IP) voice calls.
The German car manufacturer has announced that it is planning to enter the UK's financial services sector by offering special credit cards.
Credit First Service Union PacketCable is a CableLabs-led initiative to define a common
platform to deliver advanced real-time communication services, such
as voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP), over two-way cable plant.
Built on top of the industry's DOCSIS(R) 1.1 (Data Over Cable
Service Interface Specification) cable modem infrastructure,
PacketCable networks use IP technology as the basis for a
multimedia architecture. A DOCSIS 1.1 network with PacketCable
extensions enables cable operators to deliver data and voice
traffic efficiently and economically using a single high-speed,
quality-of-service (QoS)-enabled broadband architecture.

Card Credit Mobile Service The PacketCable initiative has followed a similar process to
that employed in the successful DOCSIS program. Manufacturers that
receive CableLabs certification or qualification for their E-MTA,
cable modem termination system (CMTS), Call Management Server
(CMS), Media Gateway Controller (MGC), or media gateway (MG), have
successfully completed an extensive series of interoperability
tests supported by CableLabs' membership. These PacketCable devices
were tested for interoperability in combination with other
PacketCable components.

Card Credit Discover Service CableLabs(R) Certified(TM) or CableLabs Qualified means that the
device has passed a series of tests for compliance with the
indicated version of PacketCable and has thus demonstrated
interoperable functionality with other "CableLabs
certified/qualified" devices. "CableLabs Certified" is awarded to
devices that will be used in a residence or business. "CableLabs
Qualified" is awarded to devices that are used in a cable
operator's network. Many of these devices provide other functions
or are designed to comply with other specifications, in each case
tailored by the manufacturer to meet the growing needs of consumers
or cable operators in an evolving communication/entertainment
sector. While CableLabs encourages such innovation and diversity,
the phrase CableLabs certified/qualified should not be understood
as an endorsement of these other attributes (or that the product is
certified to other specifications or versions), which are solely
the responsibility of the company making the additional claims.
