CableLabs® has awarded CableHome® 1.1 certified status to two devices from Cisco-Linksys, LLC. The announcement followed the recent conclusion of a certification wave.

CableHome 1.1 retains the benefits of the CableHome 1.0-managed residential gateway features and adds residential gateway security features, introduces standardized prioritized quality-of-service (QoS) for home local area networks (LANs), and adds support for home servers, telecommuters, and home offices.

The CableHome project is managed by Cablelabs so that, when coupled with cable broadband service, it allows for the distribution of broadband service throughout a consumer’s home. The initiative offers the consumer a secure and managed residential gateway that can be connected to the cable network in a plug-and-play fashion, offloading much of the technical burden inherent in home networking from the consumer to cable operator.

It builds upon the already successful Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS®) project that has helped launch the deployment of more than 25 million high-speed, always-connected, interoperable cable modems internationally. Hundreds of cable modems have achieved DOCSIS-certified status. This announcement, which marks the conclusion of the third CableHome certification wave, brings the number of certified CableHome devices to seven.
