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.

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 associated 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!
