EuroCableLabs has issued EuroDOCSIS and EuroPacketCable certification to a series of cable modem products manufactured by Motorola, Netgear and Zhondiantong Digital TV. An Arris cable modem that sports an integrated phone adaptor (E-MTA) received both EuroDOCSIS 2.0 and EuroPacketCable 1.5 certification.

The equipment will now be able to carry the EuroCableLabs logo, signaling to cable operators and consumers that the product is fit for purpose on European cable networks supporting EuroDOCSIS, EuroPacketCable and EuroPacketCable Multimedia.

The certifications from the EuroCableLabs Certification Board came at a meeting hosted by the Swedish cable operator ComHem in the capital Stockholm.
