1. What is the Samsung InfoRanger™ Cable Modem?

Simple and smart, the InfoRanger™ is a true cable modem (MOdulator ­DEModulator) that connects your PC or Ethernet LAN to the Internet and
other multimedia services and networks through your cable TV network.
The InfoRanger™ not only frees up your telephone lines, but gives you
unprecedented transmission speeds for accessing the Internet and the World
Wide Web, interactive communications, e-mail, file transfers and data down­loads and uploads.
Depending on your cable service’s performance, the InfoRanger™ will pro­vide downstream (receiving) data speeds up to 100 times faster than the
fastest dial-up (telephone) modem, and upstream (sending) speeds up to 100
times faster than dial-up modems.

The Samsung InfoRanger™ Cable Modem puts you at the leading edge of PC­connectivity technology.
With this device, you’ll be entering a new dimension of PC and PC-network
capabilities and productivity through a quantum leap in the speed of accessing
the Internet and other multimedia resources via your local cable TV network.

2. Connectivity/Adaptability: the DOCSIS-compliant InfoRanger™.

The Samsung InfoRanger™ complies with DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service
Interface Specification).
This assures you that your InfoRanger™ will operate with the connectivity
technology of all cable TV service providers and will be compatible with other
brands of cable modems.
