New Comcast xfinity HomePoint WiFi and VOIP router makes its way through the FCC

Comcast started to roll out its HomePoint service late last year in select markets.  The service combines VoIP and Internet services into a single router.  Today, what appears to be a new version of Comcast’s HomePoint solution made an appearance on the FCC, thanks to a filing by SMC networks.

The device, which is referred to in FCC filings as the SMCD3USG, pictured above, bears Comcast’s xfinity brand, which Comcast uses for its triple play services.  The device features 802.11 b/g/n wireless and support for DECT handsets.  We’re guessing that Comcast will offer this router with one of their customized DECT handsets, like the one pictured to the left.

The SMCD3USG also features telephone and alarm jacks, four 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, two USB ports, and a MoCA/Cable input.  Since phone service will be provided by this router, the device has space for two 2600 mAh rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries that will maintain phone service in the event of a power failure.

The manual for the SMCD3USG can be found here.

The SMCD3USG is a pretty substantial device, measuring 10” x 8.7” x 3.2”, and weighing in at 2.3 pounds.  No word on pricing or a release date yet, but we’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
