The SH3 is an 85Mhz variant of the Arris TG2492S, which was announced in May 2014.

On the market yes, but mainly used by Liberty Global UPC and Virgin networks across Europe.

Naturally it's customised with (locked down) GUI and configs for Virgin and UPC's network backends and the CMTS they use, now including Arris CMTS.
In my opinion it's mostly that backend setup they need to get right to allow any cable modem features that are not currently working perfectly to work right, rather than the cable modem firmware itself.
