DOCSISpõhine

DOCSISpõhine refers to technology and solutions that are based on the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). DOCSIS is a set of international standards that enable high-speed data transfer over coaxial cable television infrastructure. This technology is primarily used by cable operators to deliver internet access to homes and businesses.

The DOCSIS standard defines the communication protocols between a cable modem (customer premises equipment) and a cable modem termination system (CMTS), which is located at the cable operator's headend. By leveraging existing cable TV networks, DOCSIS has become a widely adopted and cost-effective method for providing broadband internet services, competing with other technologies like DSL and fiber optics.

DOCSIS specifications have evolved over several generations, with each iteration offering improvements in speed, efficiency, and capacity. Early versions provided speeds in the megabits per second range, while newer versions like DOCSIS 3.1 and DOCSIS 4.0 support multi-gigabit speeds. These advancements allow cable operators to offer increasingly faster internet plans to their subscribers.

The "põhine" suffix in "DOCSISpõhine" is Estonian for "based" or "based on." Therefore, DOCSISpõhine directly translates to "DOCSIS-based." This term is used to describe any system, service, or equipment that operates using the DOCSIS standards. Examples include DOCSIS modems, DOCSIS routers, and DOCSIS internet service plans.
