Hitron Rolls DOCSIS 3x3 Wireless Cable Gateway

Hitron Technologies has a DOCSIS 3.0 8x4 wireless cable gateway with integrated four-port Gigabit Ethernet switch and Wi-Fi 802.11n 3X3 MIMO Access Point. The Hitron CGN wireless cable gateway delivers speeds of up to 320 Mbps (8x4) with eight bonded downstream channels over its DOCSIS interface. The integrated four-port Gigabit Ethernet switch and Wi-Fi 802.11n 3X3 MIMO Access Point enable easy home networking.

The WiFi solution will outperform current 2x2 solutions by up to 250 percent enabling subscribers to take full advantage of the speeds provided by DOCSIS3.0. The CGN provides both higher short range bandwidth, as well as faster speeds at longer ranges while covering larger areas. The CGN supports pre-configured and pre-enabled Wi-Fi security via Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), allowing the end-user to rapidly set up a secure wireless network without manual configuration.
 
For the network and routing management, the Hitron CGN supports TR-69, HNAP and IPv6 routing.

“Building on our success with Tier 1 European and Asian cable operators, this is an exciting time for Hitron Technologies as we enter the North American market.” said Todd Babic, chief sales and marketing officer, in a statement.
