Next DOCSIS 3 modem - these okay?
Hey all,
One for the CPE geeks, would the below work for them as far as a new Superhub goes?
Hitron CGNv4.
I ask as this is in use in other parts of the Liberty Global group.
Ticks the boxes - AC wireless, voice capability, 24x8 modem.

Wonder how many of those features VM would actually leave enabled - seems to be capable of running a carrier hotspot facility ala BT Fon.
Also wonder if they actually equipped it with a fast enough processor to deliver the headline 1Gbps wirelessly.

It would make sense for LibGlob to standardise equipment over the company, but I'm not sure they're there yet.
Seems like a decent piece of equipment. I'll be surprised if the next hub doesn't have VoIP capabilities.

The last hub had VoIP capabilities, VM decided to remove them though.

It looks horrible like the old WNDR2000 netgear routers. I hope virgin have them spruse up the casing if they go with this company.

I could not possibly care less about the casing, as long as performance is solid.

None of the Superhubs were eMTAs in their previous existence as far as I know, they were all reshelled data gateways?

The looks of a cable modem are serious business.

Dunno how they worked, but the base CG3100 model had two phone ports for VOIP service.

Re: Next DOCSIS 3 modem - these okay?
So far we now use Liberty Global style HDUs and Liberty globals style of F connectors, to me it makes sense buying in bulk so Im all for it

Okay.
The Superhub was built off the CG3100D which didn't.

Those are also full band capture modems, so as I posted on another thread they are basically spectrum analysers hence great for capturing network data
