More news from Motorola at CES 2006, this time in the form of the SVG2500 Wireless VoIP Cable Modem Gateway, an all-in-one home communications hub that integrates digital phone service and a wireless access point with a reliable Motorola cable modem. Motorola intend for the SVG family to support the fixed-mobile convergence features of the RSG service, offering service providers an integrated product for delivering ‘quadruple play’ offering of voice, video, data, and wireless services to customers.

The Motorola SVG2500 enables the simultaneous use of digital phone and high-speed data services, and also supports a variety of popular phone services including caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, and more. The product’s advanced routing features allow for multiple PCs to be connected without the need for a stand-alone hub or router – reducing both cost and clutter.

The SVG2500 is easy to set-up and use, featuring plug-and-play installation and an intuitive Web-based diagnostic function for quick troubleshooting. The product is expected to be available in Spring 2006.

Sounds great, but I wonder whether the complexity of the device will deter its widespread adoption? Think about it: try explaining its benefits to great your gran. Better still, try explaining exactly what it does to her - or for that matter, try explaining what it does to yourself without looking at this post. Great tech, but must be more hidden!
