Q. What is PacketCable and what does it mean?
A. PacketCable is the industry standard for telephony services that most cable companies are
adopting as they upgrade their systems. Should you ever decide to move, the Advanced
Cable Gateway will work with all upgraded cable systems that are PacketCable compliant.
Q. What is Xpress Technology and what does it mean?
A. It is one of the popular performance-enhancing WiFi technologies, designed to improve
wireless network efficiency and boost throughput. It is more efficient in mixed environments,
and it can work with 802.11a/b/g networks. When Xpress is turned on, aggregate throughput
(the sum of the individual throughput speeds of each client on the network) can improve by
up to 27% in 802.11g-only networks, and up to 75% in mixed networks comprised of
802.11g and 802.11b standard equipment. The technology achieves higher throughput by re-
packaging data, reducing the number of overhead control packets, so that more useful data
can be sent during a given amount of time.
