Certified modems is now ready for retail distribution.
Additional suppliers modems should be available at retail later this year as they become certified in subsequent testing. In addition to buying cable modems at retail, consumers may obtain cable modems, including certified modems, from cable operators. The retail certified modems are identifiable by a CableLabs Certified seal. This seal will inform consumers and cable operators that a modem complies with the CableLabs cable modem specification. It also states that the device will work on multiple headends, which soon will be deployed in a substantial number of systems in the United States and Canada.
