Next Generation High-Bandwidth Services and Home
Networking in a Stylish Package
The SBG6580 SURFboard Wi-Fi Cable Modem Gateway enables the delivery of
innovative ultra-broadband data and multimedia services as well as high-bandwidth
home networking. Designed for seamless mobility, Motorola’s SBG6580 is a fully
integrated all-in-one home networking solution that combines the functionality of
a DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 3.0 cable modem, four-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch
with advanced firewall, and an 802.11n Wi-Fi access point in a sleek, stylish package
for the sophisticated consumer. It’s the perfect networking solution for the home,
home office, or small business, allowing users to create a custom network to share
a single ultra-broadband connection, files, and networked peripherals using wired or
Wi-Fi connectivity. Cost-effective, efficient, and secure, the SBG6580 enables users
to maximize the potential of their existing resources, while benefiting from next
generation high-bandwidth services.
Increased Data Rates
Utilizing the power of DOCSIS 3.0, the SBG6580 enables channel bonding of up to
8 downstream and 4 upstream channels – which allows an operator to offer their
customers advanced multimedia services, capable of data rates of well over 300
Mbps in DOCSIS and 400 Mbps in EuroDOCSIS in the received (downstream) data
stream and over 100 Mbps in the send (upstream) data stream. The SBG6580’s high-
speed services enable operators to:
• Protect their installed base of premium high-speed data customers.
• Deliver high-bandwidth, multimedia services to residential customers.
• Deliver competitive, high-capacity commercial services to their business
customers.
The SBG6580 eliminates the need for stand-alone routers, hubs, and access points.
Its four gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports, an integrated 802.11n Wi-Fi access point with
an internal 2 x 2 antenna array, and switched on-board radios (2.4 or 5 GHz) enables
users to maximize the high-bandwidth potential of their home or business network.
As part of Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 Ultra-Broadband family of products, the SBG6580
includes an enhanced tuner that supports up to a 1 GHz downstream input allowing
operators to increase the frequency spectrum for deployment of new high-value
services such as bandwidth on-demand, commercial services, interactive gaming,
and IPTV to their customers.

Wi-Fi Access
One way to avoid the challenges of rewiring or contending with varying wiring in
the home is to eliminate wires altogether. The SBG6580 is equipped with a next-
generation 802.11n Wi-Fi access point.
802.11n: 802.11n, the most current superset of the widely used Wi-Fi standard
utilized by consumers in more than 100 million deployed PCs and mobile devices,
is a compelling networking option for operators and consumers. The SBG6580’s
802.11n integrated access point eliminates the need for wires altogether – enabling
users to easily wirelessly network all of their 802.11 b/g/n equipped devices.
Dual Radio Operation: The SBG6580 is configured with radio technology that offers
802.11 b/g at 2.4 GHz and 802.11n at 5 GHz to support maximum LAN flexibility.
Switched radio operation enables the SBG6580 to work with the lowest common
denominator Wi-Fi peripherals, allowing consumers to network previous and next-
generation computers, gaming consoles, and other peripherals anywhere in the
home.
With Motorola’s SURFboard integrated home networking solutions, service providers
can provide seamless interaction among consumer electronics, mobile handsets,
and PC devices, enabling high-quality media streaming, and supporting efficient
sharing of media within and outside of the connected home. Capable of supporting
converged IP-based entertainment services, the SBG6580 enables the delivery of
advanced whole home entertainment services and a consumer’s personal media
experiences.

We approach this in several ways: improving the
environmental profile of our products, running our
operations in a safe and energy-efficient manner and
helping our customers to be greener when they use our
products.
Motorola’s SURFboard portfolio of customer premises
equipment (CPE) helps service providers lower their
energy consumption, thereby helping them reduce their
carbon footprint. Motorola has a global commitment to
be part of the solution to climate change, and has worked
for years to continually improve our environmental profile.
We are in step with our customers and their increasing
interest in partnering with a company that helps them
reduce their environmental impact, while offering
compelling products to help them grow their
eco-conscious customer base.
Motorola is working to make products with a reduced
environmental impact. In the development of our next-
generation SURFboard portfolio of customer premises
equipment, we have focused on energy efficiency,
lead-free manufacturing, and packaging / recycling
enhancements. Depending on models and market, our
units are ENERGY STAR qualified and compliant with
European Code of Conduct regulations. In addition,
the devices and power supplies are lead-free and
RoHS compliant. Finally, all new SURFboard CPE use
environmentally friendly package designs.The CPE
are available in single bulk pack boxes that eliminate
the use of suspension plastic and reduce box size,
thereby reducing waste and transport costs. Motorola’s
SURFboard modem’s packaging is 100% recyclable and is
marked with standard recycling codes to make it easier
for our customers to identify recycling opportunities.
