From the April 22 release, it's clear testing is an on-going process so I would imagine different types of equipment and/or different companies are announced at different times. newsalert.com "Interoperability testing, including creating test plans and procedures, will begin in April and will run through March of next year," said Rouzbeh Yassini, executive consultant to CableLabs and the head of the cable modem initiative. "We anticipate beginning certification waves for 1.1 in April 2000," Yassini added. He noted that DOCSIS 1.1 headend equipment also will be qualified on a similar schedule. DOCSIS 1.1 headends must support 1.0 and 1.1 modems and DOCSIS 1.1 modems must be able to act as a 1.0 modem when connected to a DOCSIS 1.0 headend. com21.com "A key focus for us right now is building international relationships with the leading cable players in Europe," said Buck Gee, vice president of Marketing at Com21. "Our customers and partners are our number one asset, and our successful relationship with companies such as Siemens, Philips, and France Telecom have given us a leadership position in the European cable modem market," he added.
