Broadband Reports wrote last week about new Motorola modems showing up in consumer self-install kits. Since the modem didn’t sound familiar to me, I thought I’d dig for some details. Here’s what I found out about the new hardware in Motorola’s modem portfolio:
- The Motorola Netopia 2210 is a 10/100 Ethernet ADSL2/2+ modem with one Ethernet port
- It provides automated service provisioning, software updates and service activation
- The modem has “robust” security features including a built-in firewall and denial of service protection
- It weighs under a pound (similar in look to the 2200 pictured above)
- In addition to specs for quality performance and ease of use, the 2210 was designed to cut down on shipping and support costs (no truck rolls – something everyone loves to avoid)
Word is we’ll hear more about these in the near future. Or you can always hit the online forums for regular updates in the field.
