Smart Cable Gateway
with Battery Backup Solution
Full Band Capture Solution
Thanks to its fully integrated 1 GHz wideband capture, the TC8706
exceeds SCTE-40+ performance and eliminates all frequency
limitations of traditional wideband tuners. The TC8706 enables use of
the full radio frequency (RF) spectrum without the need for grouped
channels. This helps the operator migrate its entire DOCSIS 3.0 install
base from one to eight DOCSIS downstream channels without having
to re-align all its broadband channels to accommodate this new service.
High-Speed Wireless Interface
The TC8706 has a dual band concurrent IEEE 802.11n wireless interface,
supporting an industry leading 3x3 spatial stream configuration at both
2.4GHz and 5GHz. Combined with internal amplifiers, the TC8706
takes home networking to a completely new level. The TC8706 also
supports multiple SSIDs.
Voice Performance
The TC8706 is PacketCable 2.0 compliant and is equipped with basic
and extended CLASS features such as caller ID and call waiting.
Optionally, thanks to its integrated DECT base, new lines can be added
by simply pairing new cordless handsets, while legacy fax equipment
can still be connected to the FXS port.
Advanced Security
The integrated firewall provides Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI),
and an integrated intrusion detection and Prevention System (IDS)
engine monitors a wide range of attack patterns, and logs potential
security breaches to a local cache or remote server. To secure data
exchange between the gateways and the cable operators’ servers,
BPi+ communications privacy is used.
MoCA
The TC8706 also includes an integrated MoCA 2.0 interface which
enables the gateway to provide connectivity to set-top boxes and client
devices connected within the home.
WPS
With Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) users can easily connect with the
TC8706 wireless network by simply pushing a button or entering a PIN
code.
It allows home users to easily connect to a secure network without any
complex configuration and eliminates the need to remember or store
their security information in an unsafe way.
Easy to Use
Like all Technicolor modems and gateways, the TC8706 is an easy
to use, easy to install gateway. For convenience of the end user, the
easy-to-access LEDs provide a clear indication of start-up sequence,
connectivity status and channel bonding status. Multiple integrated
web pages allow direct access to the status and settings, including
privacy and security information.
ECO
Technicolor oers its customers environmentally friendly products. In
addition to carefully selected plastics and packaging to minimize the
ecological footprint, the TC8706 benefits from a unique combination
of hardware and software features that reduce power consumption
substantially.
