MediaAccessTC8706T for Time Warner Cable
Smart Cable Gateway
with Battery Backup Solution
Full Band Capture Solution
Thanks to its fully integrated 1 GHz wideband capture, the TC8706T
exceeds SCTE-40+ performance and eliminates all frequency limitations
of traditional wideband tuners. The TC8706T enables use of the full radio
frequency (RF) spectrum without the need for grouped channels. This helps
the operator migrate its entire DOCSIS 3.0 install base from one to eight
DOCSIS downstream channels without having to re-align all its broadband
channels to accommodate this new service.
The full band capture feature also facilitates spectrum analysis features and
capabilities, unleashing powerful ways to manage cable plants in a proactive
way, reducing operational expenses.
High-Speed Wireless Interface
The TC8706T has a dual band concurrent high power IEEE802.11n wireless
interface, supporting an industry leading 3x3 spatial stream configuration at
both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Combined with internal amplifiers, the TC8706T
takes home networking to a completely new level. The TC8706T also
supports multiple SSIDs.
Voice Performance
The TC8706T is PacketCable 2.0 compliant and is equipped with basic and
extended CLASS features such as caller ID and call waiting.
Optionally, thanks to its integrated DECT base, new lines can be added by
simply pairing new cordless handsets, while legacy fax equipment can still be
connected to the FXS port.
Advanced Security
The integrated firewall provides Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), and an
integrated intrusion detection and Prevention System (IDS) engine monitors
a wide range of attack patterns, and logs potential security breaches to a local
cache or remote server. To secure data exchange between the gateways
and the cable operators’ servers, BPi+ communications privacy is used.
MoCA
The TC8706 also includes an integrated MoCA2.0 interface which enables
the gateway to provide connectivity to set-top boxes and client devices
connected within the home. MoCA 2.0 provides a future proof, high
bandwidth and high node count wired backbone within the subscriber’s
home.
Hardware robustness and immunity
The TC8706T has industry leading EMC robustness for maximum reliability.
Best in class radiated immunity specification provides protection against
wireless and LTE interference. Industry leading immunity to conducted
interference gives protection against in-home conducted disturbances. Best
in class surge immunity provides protection against electrical surge events.
Power supply thermal stability is fully characterized to protect against any
safety or reliability concerns such as brown-out situations.
Easy to Use
Like all Technicolor modems and gateways, the TC8706T is an easy to use,
easy to install gateway.
For instance, the easy-to-access LEDs provide a clear indication of start-up
sequence, connectivity status and channel bonding status (number of used
downstream and upstream channels). Additionally, multiple integrated web
pages allow direct access to the status and settings, including privacy and
security information.
With Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) users can easily connect with the
TC8706T wireless network by simply pushing a button or entering a PIN
code. It allows home users to easily connect to a secure network without any
complex configuration and eliminates the need to remember or store their
security information in an unsafe way.
ECO
Technicolor oers its customers environmentally friendly products. In addition
to carefully selected plastics and packaging to minimize the ecological
footprint, the TC8706T benefits from a unique combination of hardware
and software features that reduce power consumption substantially.
