Motorola’s SBG941 Series SURFboard Wireless
Cable Modem Gateway combines an industry-leading
cable modem, an integrated four-port switch, an IEEE
802.11b/g wireless 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 SBG941 Series enables users to
maximize the potential of their existing resources. The
SBG941 Series also offers easily managed, enhanced
network security for both wired and wireless users.
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
SBG941 Series is the ideal device for expanding an
operator’s home network service offerings.
Wireless LAN Mobility
The Motorola SBG941 Series 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 SBG941 Series’s internal antennas streamline
the look and feel of the unit while eliminating the
possibility of breakage.
Configurable Output Power
The SBG941 Series 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 SBG941 Series’s
improved range has increased user data throughput
wireless data range of greater than 21 Mbps 2 . The
SBG941 Series’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 SBG941 Series 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.
