MediaAccess TC8737COX for Cox Communications
Wireless .11ac Ultra-Speed
Smart Cable Gateway
with Battery Backup Solution
Full Band Capture Solution
Thanks to its fully integrated 1GHz wideband capture and spectral analysis,
the TC8737COX exceeds SCTE-40+ performance and eliminates all
frequency limitations of traditional wideband tuners. The TC8737COX
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 24 DOCSIS downstream channels without having to
re-align all its broadband channels to accommodate this new service.
Remote diagnostics provides real time, unobtrusive diagnostic and
spectrum analysis capabilities, without eecting user service on any of the
24 downstream channels.
Applications Core
As an easily updatable platform, the TC8737COX is capable of providing
subscribers with advanced services and apps within the home. Its dedicated
applications processor and software service framework put services such as
the following at your fingertips:
■ Home Security and Automation
■ Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
■ Customer Self Help
MoCA
The TC8737COX 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.
Voice Performance
The TC8737COX is PacketCable 1.5 and 2.0 compliant, and is equipped
with basic and extended CLASS features such as caller id and call waiting.
Video Streaming
The TC8737COX contains an MPEG2 to IP encapsulation solution allowing
the capture of the DVB-C free-to-air video signal on the RF network and the
distribution of this video signal over IP on the local network of the customer.
This feature is available upon software upgrade of the TC8737COX and is a
first step for cable operator towards distributing IPTV without any change to
their existing QAM (digital video) broadcast infrastructure.
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.
Easy to Use
Like all Technicolor modems and gateways, the TC8737COX 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, operational status, and connectivity status.
Multiple integrated web pages also allow direct access to the status and
settings, including privacy and security information.
IPv6 Enabled
With the approaching IPv4 address pool depletion, our products need to
be ready for IPv6. Technicolor is a frontrunner in the introduction of IPv6
on its devices, with the TC8737COX being enabled for multiple IPv6 field
scenarios. Internet Protocol version 6 is the next generation of Internet
technologies aiming to eectively support the ever-expanding Internet
usage and functionality, and also to address security concerns that exist in
an IPv4 environment.
Technicolor aims to introduce IPv6 as smoothly as possible in customer
networks. By providing in-depth knowledge of the networking stack, we
guide our customers in their transition from IPv4 to IPv6.
Media Sharing
The TC8737COX acts as a fully compliant DLNA 1.5 Digital Media Server
(DMS) and enables distribution of all content from any device to any device
in the home. You can stream music, data, pictures and video from your
gateway to devices connected to your wired or wireless home network.
In addition, the TC8737COX supports hot plugging of USB hard disk drives,
allowing you to simply plug and play devices without the need to switch the
gateway o first.
