At last, the wait is over.

SURFboard technology leaves

traditional modems obsolete.

Waiting. It may be the greatest irritant in web surfing.

Waiting for your modem to transfer a document. Waiting

for the busy signals to stop; waiting for a connection.

Waiting. With GI’s SURFboard cable modem, the waiting

is over. You’re always on...always connected.

GI offers 3 models in the SURFboard cable modem

family: the SB2100, SB2100i and the SB2100D. The

standard SB2100 offers customer friendly, quick Internet

access via a single cable. The SB2100i international

modem supports universal power supplies providing

GI’s plug-and-play convenience to customers across the

globe. Additionally, the SB2100D dual-return modem

automatically detects available return path in one-way or

two-way plants and configures itself accordingly. The

SB2100D is the same unit as the SB2100, but with facto-

ry added components like an analog telephone modem

included inside for one-way systems.

MODEL SB2100

SURFBOARD DOCSIS BASED TWO-WAY EXTERNAL CABLE MODEM SPECIFICATIONS

With the SURFboard SB2100 family you get the

SPEED that leaves traditional modems obsolete...

the FLEXIBILITY that allows multiple user access...

and the SIMPLICITY of plug-and-play operation.

The SB2100 series designs are built on proven

General Instrument SURFboard cable modem

technology. GI’s commitment to excellence enables

them to lead the market in innovative and reliable

products that consistently provide their customers

with outstanding performance and value.

The DOCSIS based SB2100 family provides

maximum performance and is compatible with

desktops, laptop PCs, Macs and workstations. DOCSIS

based modems insure that your equipment can function

with any DOCSIS system. An ethernet card and a

standard HTML browser is the only equipment required

in the subscriber’s computer, making SURFboard

modems platform independent. Relying on the proven

SURFboard cable modem design, the SB2100 family of

cable modems talk directly to the equipment at the

headend, so the user is not required to do any set-up

or management—just plug-and-play. That’s easy. They

ensure the interoperability of cable modems and associ-

ated networks manufactured by different suppliers.

Interoperability speeds time to market by reducing risk

for equipment purchasers and consumers, and creates

economies of scale for broadband network operators by

creating multiple product sources.

In addition, the SB2100 family supports up to 32

users, and is ideal for a small business or home network.

Because all data goes through the cable, upstream and

downstream speeds are incredibly fast, and no extra

telephone line is required. The wait is over. GI has

DOCSIS based modems... now!
