Com21's DOXport 1110 Cable Modem Receives
CableLabs DOCSIS Certification
Latest Offering Launches Second Generation Platform
MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 28, 2000--Com21, Inc.
(Nasdaq:CMTO - news), a global supplier of systems solutions for the broadband access market, today
announced that its DOXport(TM) 1110 cable modem has been certified by CableLabs® for compliance with
DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Services Interface Specification) 1.0.
The latest offering is also the first product incorporating Com21's next-generation platform, the basis for
future broadband access solution products.
``Establishing the next generation of Com21 solutions is a milestone for us,'' said Peter Fenner, CEO and
president of Com21. ``It is part of our fundamental strategy to improve gross margins, and to use this modem
as a platform to offer a greater variety of DOCSIS-certified products incorporating a range of value-added
services, such as increased security, toll-quality voice, and home networking.''
The DOXport 1110 is Com21's fifth cable modem to receive certification from CableLabs. Its full-duplex
10/100BT Ethernet interface is designed to support multiple PCs with an Ethernet hub. Additionally, the
modem is significantly smaller than earlier products. It comes with a reference CD, designed to help answer
customers' installation and troubleshooting questions, potentially reducing dependence on technical support
personnel. The DOXport 1110 begins shipping this month.
