CableLabs announced a 3-tiered program for qualification of DOCSIS 3.0 CMTSs—bronze, silver and full qualification. Bronze and silver will be assigned to equipment that supports a subset of the complete DOCSIS 3.0 suite of specifications; eventually full 3.0 compliance will be the sole certification level. DOCSIS 3.0 modems will have only 1 level of certification. It’s expected that 3.0 CMTSs and modems will be submitted as early as 4Q.
