DATA SHEET
Motorola’s SBG901 SURFboard Wireless Cable
Modem Gateway combines an industry-leading cable
modem, an IEEE 802.11b/g wireless access point,
and an advanced firewall into one compact product.
It’s the perfect networking solution for the home,
home office, or small business, allowing users to
create a custom network to share a single broadband
connection, files, networked printers, and peripherals
without wires. Cost-effective and efficient, the
SBG901 enables users to maximize the potential
of their existing resources. The SBG901 also offers
easily managed, enhanced network security for both
wired and wireless users.
The SBG901’s new User GUI enables an easy set up
and ease of use for the operator.
Designed for Service Assurance, the SBG901
is compatible with Motorola’s NBBS Device
Management Platform and with Motorola’s eCare for
remote access customer component troubleshooting
and configuration, eliminating unnecessary truck rolls.
Integrated DOCSIS 2.0 Cable Modem
The integrated Motorola SURFboard cable modem
incorporates the newest DOCSIS 2.0 silicon for
improved performance over legacy DOCSIS products,
design enhancements for a more environmentally
friendly product, and feature evolvement to meet
the changing needs of MSO and end users. The
Motorola SBG901 is the ideal device for expanding an
operator’s home network service offerings.
Wireless LAN Mobility
The Motorola SBG901 merges the advantages of
the SURFboard cable modem with the mobility of
a wireless LAN (WLAN). It includes an integrated
IEEE 802.11b/g Wi-Fi
® access point that allows users
(with optional accessories) to roam around the home
or small business and remain connected to the
network. Now subscribers can place computers and
peripherals where they’re convenient, not just where
there’s an available connection.
The SBG901’s internal antennas streamline the look
and feel of the unit while eliminating the possibility of
breakage.
Configurable Output Power
The SBG901 offers an array of competitive
advantages by providing superior transmission
power with a close to omni-directional antenna,
which delivers excellent coverage for the user. The
SBG901’s improved range has increased user data
throughput wireless data range of greater than 21
Mbps
2 . The SBG901’s adjustable output power can be
configured, allowing just the right amount of signal to
fill the required area without interfering with homes
or businesses.
Commercial-Class Security
Finally, Motorola’s SBG901 is secure. It includes an
advanced firewall that helps protect the network from
hackers and other outside interference while allowing
desired data to pass through with ease. The firewall
embedded in the gateway provides commercial-class
protection through built-in denial-of-service attack
prevention, stateful packet inspection, and intrusion
detection. The firewall also allows VPN tunnel
protocols to pass through, hiding the network from
the outside world.
