Feature Overview

Cisco uBR900 series cable access routers are fully-functional Cisco IOS routers and standards-based bidirectional cable modems that give a residential or small office/home office (SOHO) subscriber high-speed Internet or Intranet access and packet telephone services via a shared two-way cable system and IP backbone network. Cisco uBR900 series cable access routers are based on the current Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) standards, and interoperate with any bidirectional, DOCSIS-qualified headend cable modem termination system (CMTS).

Cisco uBR900 series routers connect computers, telephone equipment, and other customer premises devices at a subscriber site to the service provider’s Hybrid/Fiber Coax (HFC) and IP backbone network. Functioning as cable modems, the Cisco uBR900 series routers transport data and voice traffic on the same cable system that delivers broadcast TV signals.

Cisco uBR900 series cable access routers typically ship from the Cisco factory with a Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) software image stored in nonvolatile memory (NVRAM). The standard Cisco IOS software image supports DOCSIS-compliant bridging operation for data as the default.

Based on the feature licenses purchased, other Cisco IOS images can be downloaded from Cisco Connection Online (CCO). Each Cisco uBR900 series router in your network can then be configured to support Voice over IP (VoIP) and/or other special operating modes based on your service offering and the practices in place for your network. A Cisco uBR900 series device can function as an advanced router, providing wide area network (WAN) data connectivity in a variety of configurations.
