Superior Wireless Performance

  • Touchstone TG2492 – EuroDOCSIS 3.0 wireless EMTA featuring up to 24x8 channel bonding for enhanced broadband speeds, as well as dual band concurrent 802.11n 2.4GHz and 802.11ac 5GHz radios for superior wireless coverage and performance. The TG2492 also includes up to two lines of carrier-grade VoIP and support for IPv6, Business Services, and Wi-Fi Hotspots for the ultimate extensibility in operator deployments
  • Touchstone DG6800 – EuroDOCSIS 3.0 wireless data gateway with 16x4 channel bonding delivering the latest Wireless Dual Band Concurrent 802.11ac technology in a slim, cost-effective form factor that supports tomorrow's broadband speeds.

The Shift to Video Digitization

  • HMC4120 - a Hybrid DVB-C/IP set-top featuring an embedded DOCSIS modem which enables the return path for access to interactive services such as video on demand, catch up TV and nDVR. The HMC4120 also features an optional removable HDD module, giving the operator flexibility to support DVR and non-DVR customers with the same platform.
  • HMC3000 - enabling cable operators to deliver HD content to subscribers and facilitating the migration of subscribers to all digital and IP-based services. Both the HMC3000 and the HMC4120 are powered by the ARRIS KreaTV operating system which provides a general software platform for fast application development and integration. It is pre-integrated with leading applications, conditional access systems, and video servers—offering open standards interfaces for browser or native application-level development.
  • HMC2010 –a cost-effective digital terminal adapter (DTA) for operators looking to convert analog subscribers to a digital service, helping to free up spectrum in their network. The compact and energy efficient design of all the HMC series set-tops, especially the HMC2010, minimizes energy consumption, reducing their impact on the environment.
