Thomson CABLE MODEM specifications

The Technicolor - Thomson CABLE MODEM is a groundbreaking device designed to enhance the home networking experience, providing high-speed internet connectivity for various devices. One of the key features of this modem is its advanced DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) technology. This ensures compatibility with most cable internet service providers and supports high-speed data transmission rates, making it suitable for households with multiple internet users and devices simultaneously.

Its robust design supports DOCSIS 3.0, allowing for download speeds that can reach up to 1 Gbps.
