Why is the Cisco uBR905 cable access router classified a “cable access router” and not a “cable modem”?
A. The term “cable modem” has come to define a product category that is made up of low-cost, consumer electronic bridging devices. Because the the Cisco uBR905 is defined as a cable access router, the uBR905 belongs to a separate product category than cable modems. The Cisco uBR905 serves a different segment of business users. Business users not only value the high-speed connectivity offered by cable modems, but these users require the enhanced security, manageability, and quality of service (QoS) offered by an integrated router.
