Next-Gen Wireless Technology
for Next-Gen Speeds

The TC8717C is one of the first dual band concurrent Wi-Fi ultra broadband
gateways to feature the next-generation IEEE802.11ac wireless standard for
the 5GHz band. With its optimized antenna configuration, this enhanced
wireless solution enables even higher throughput and better coverage
over the much less crowded 5GHz radio, for real-time content delivery.
Simultaneously, it guarantees uninterrupted transmission of data services
over IEEE802.11n using the 2.4GHz band.

Latest High-Bandwidth Technology

The TC8717C is a DOCSIS3.0 wireless embedded Multimedia Terminal
Adapter (eMTA) smart gateway with best-in-class performance.

A dedicated applications processor and software execution environment
make it a powerful and reliable platform in the home, ready for demanding
services and applications.

The TC8717C has an extended life cycle thanks to its extensive remote
management capabilities, including the ability to smoothly upgrade itself
and add apps on the go.

Moreover, this new generation of smart high-speed data service solutions
supports up to 16 bonded downstream channels and four bonded upstream
channels for speeds of up to 640 Mbps downstream and 160 Mbps
upstream. The TC8717C also provides full connectivity to devices in the
home including set-top boxes via MoCA.

Full Band Capture Solution

Thanks to its fully integrated 1 GHz wideband capture, the TC8717C
exceeds SCTE-40+ performance and eliminates all frequency limitations
of traditional wideband tuners. The TC8717C enables use of the full radio
frequency (RF) spectrum without the need for grouped channels. This
helps the operator migrate its entire DOCSIS 3.0 install base from one to 16
DOCSIS downstream channels without having to re-align all its broadband
channels to accommodate this new service.

“I speak Qeo”

The TC8717C has been developed to run Qeo, Technicolor’s open, agile and
distributed communication framework that addresses the issue of disparate
ecosystems used for device interaction. With Qeo, you can seamlessly bridge
all your connected devices, applications and over-the-top cloud solutions,
regardless of brand or ecosystem. As a universal software language, it lets
you create totally new use cases for the connected life and the “Internet of
Things” (IoT).

Qeo also includes tools to monitor and manage all Qeo enabled devices,
helping you keep operational costs under control.

Applications Core

As an easily updatable platform, the TC8717C is capable of providing
subscribers with advanced services and apps within the home. Its dedicated
applications processor and software service framework put services such as
the following at your fingertips:

■ Home Security and Automation

■ Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

■ Customer Self Help

IPv6 Enabled

With the approaching IPv4 address pool depletion, our products need to be
ready for IPv6. Technicolor is a frontrunner in the introduction of IPv6 on its
devices, with the TC8717C being enabled for multiple IPv6 field scenarios.
Internet Protocol version 6 is the next generation of Internet technologies
aiming to eectively support the ever-expanding Internet usage and
functionality, and also to address security concerns that exist in an IPv4
environment.

Technicolor aims to introduce IPv6 as smoothly as possible in customer
networks. By providing in-depth knowledge of the networking stack, we
guide our customers in their transition from IPv4 to IPv6.

Voice Performance

The TC8717C is PacketCable 2.0 compliant and is equipped with basic and
extended CLASS features such as caller id and call waiting.

DECT Integrated Base Station

Thanks to its integrated DECT base, new lines can be added by simply
pairing new cordless handsets, while legacy phone and fax equipment can
still be connected to the FXS port.

The TC8717C DECT base works seamlessly with the MediaConnect TH78,
Technicolor’s next-gen CAT-iq v2.0 certifiable DECT handset.

Media Sharing

The TC8717C acts as a fully compliant DLNA 1.5 Digital Media Server
(DMS) and enables distribution of all content from any device to any device
in the home. You can stream music, data, pictures and video from your
gateway to devices connected to your wired or wireless home network.

In addition, the TC8717C supports hot plugging of USB hard disk drives,
allowing you to simply plug and play devices without the need to switch the
gateway o first.

MoCA

The TC8717C also includes an integrated MoCA 2.0 interface which
enables the gateway to provide connectivity to set-top boxes and client
devices connected within the home.

Advanced Security

The integrated firewall provides Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), and an
integrated intrusion detection and Prevention System (IDS) engine monitors
a wide range of attack patterns, and logs potential security breaches to a
local cache or remote server.

To secure data exchange between the gateways and the cable operators’
servers, BPi+ communications privacy is used.

Easy to Use

Like all Technicolor modems and gateways, the TC8717C is an easy to use,
easy to install gateway.

For convenience of the end user, the easy-to-access LEDs provide a clear
indication of start-up sequence, operational status, and connectivity status.

Multiple integrated web pages also allow direct access to the status and
settings, including privacy and security information.

WPS

With Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) users can easily connect with the
TC8717C wireless network by simply pushing a button or entering a PIN
code.

ECO

Technicolor is committed to oer its customers sustainable products and
implements a set of ECO features to reach the best possible environmental
performance. In addition to carefully selected plastics and packaging to
minimize the ecological footprint, the TC8717C benefits from a unique
combination of hardware and software features that reduce power
consumption substantially.
