Today's home serves as a communications and information "hub." The convergence of formerly disparate home services - voice, video, and data - provides a variety of rich new consumer experiences both within and outside the home.

Cisco's Internet Protocol (IP) Services Gateway Series enables cable service providers to take their services to the next level with an all-in-one solution for high-speed Internet access, wired and wireless home networking, file and data storage, and telephone service.

• Internet and Premium Content Services - Extended HD, niche sports and international content, user generated video, and Internet content now accessible on the TV or cellular phone
• Whole Home Content - Sharing DVR (digital video recorder) content or user-generated Internet-based video content across multiple set-tops in the home
• Richer Media Experience and Navigation - Advanced programming guides, video rich navigation options, integrated search across multiple devices
• User Device Docking and Storage - Photos and personal video available on TV, music downloaded from the PC to home entertainment and portable devices
