Voice Adapter (EPC3212) is a high-speed cable modem with an embedded digital voice
adapter. The EPC3212 provides a faster connection to the Internet by incorporating eight
bonded downstream channels along with four bonded upstream channels. These bonded
channels deliver downstream data rates in excess of 440 Mbps. That’s up to eight times
faster than conventional single-channel EuroDOCSIS™ 2.0 cable modems.
