Relationship among the Devices
This illustration shows a cable company that offers DOCSIS- and PacketCable-compliant
voice/data services.
What the Modem Does
The Residential Voice Gateway provides high-speed Internet access as well as cost-effective,
toll-quality telephone voice and fax/modem services over residential, commercial, and
education subscribers on public and private networks via an existing CATV infrastructure. It can
inter-operate with the PacketCable compliant headend equipment and provide the IP-based
voice communications. The IP traffic can transfer between the Residential Voice Gateway and
DOCSIS compliant headend equipment. The data security secures upstream and downstream
communications.
What the Modem Needs to Do Its Job
The Right Cable Company: Make sure your local cable company provides data services that
use cable TV industry-standard Euro-DOCSIS or DOCSIS-compliant and Euro-PacketCable
or PacketCable-compliant technology.
