Netgear, Inc., a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, today announced that it will showcase several innovative solutions for cable operators, including a groundbreaking DOCSIS3.0 gateway integrated with 802.11ac wireless technology, at the ANGA Cable show taking place June 12- 14 in Cologne, Germany.

In addition, NETGEAR will also demonstrate its 24 x 8 channel bonded DOCSISŪ/Euro-DOCSIS gateway to support up to 1.2Gbps downstream and 320Mbps upstream data rate. The NETGEAR 802.11ac DOCSIS3.0 gateway supports wireless connectivity that is up to three times faster than today's 802.11n routers. With multiple antennas and dual band WiFi, the cable gateway increases the coverage area for HD streaming in the home while enabling consumers to download web content from any device in the home significantly faster than it would take on a similar 802.11n device.

"Cable operators are increasingly being asked to address two critical challenges - superior wireless connectivity in-home and competition from FTTH technologies. NETGEAR's next generation cable gateway solutions are designed to help our cable operator customers squarely address these challenges," said Michael Clegg, Sr. VP and GM, Service Provider business unit at NETGEAR. "With 802.11ac now a reality, in-home WiFi connectivity is set for a quantum leap and will revolutionize the way we consume content wirelessly. NETGEAR's leadership in the industry, and collaboration with key partners, enables us to introduce the innovative solutions that our cable customers require to successfully meet their subscribers' expectations."
