The DPC3208 DOCSIS 3.0 8x4 Cable Modem (DPC3208) is a high-speed cable modem with an embedded digital voice adapter. The DPC3208 provides a faster connection to the Internet by incorporating eight bonded downstream channels along with four bonded upstream channels. These bonded channels deliver downstream data rates in excess of 340 Mbps. That’s up to eight times faster than conventional single-channel DOCSIS® 2.0 cable modems.
The DPC3208 is designed to meet PacketCable™ 1.5 and DOCSIS 3.0 specifications as well as being backward compatible with DOCSIS 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 networks. The DPC3208 fully supports the CODECs specified in PacketCable 1.5. Additional CODECs are available through a software upgrade that includes a high-fidelity CODEC option for toll-quality plus service. Standard VoIP call signaling is compliant with PacketCable (MGCP/NCS) specifications. Software upgrades are available to support Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) call signaling.
