July 2001: CableHome initiative issues specs for Quality of Service (QoS) and an architectural report. Interested vendors participate in a CableHome meeting later that month.
September 2001: The cable industry awards certification status to DOCSIS™ 1.1 cable modems from Texas Instruments and Toshiba. Arris and Cadant gained qualification status for their DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem termination systems (CMTS).
December 2001: Back-to-school and holiday advertising campaigns mention cable modem technology. By year-end, nine manufacturers had products that were certified as DOCSIS 1.1-compliant.
December 2001: DOCSIS 2.0 specifications are released. They build on prior versions by adding mechanisms for faster upstream speeds, and enabling a way to offer more symmetrical high-speed Internet access 30 Mbps service upstream and 40 Mbps downstream. This is seen as good for services like video conferencing.
2001: The big milestone for DOCSIS in 2001 was its enhanced mode, known as 1.1. The foundation technology for PacketCable and CableHome, DOCSIS 1.1 augmented DOCSIS 1.0 in three ways:

2001: The big milestone for DOCSIS in 2001 was its enhanced mode, known as 1.1. The foundation technology for PacketCable and CableHome, DOCSIS 1.1 augmented DOCSIS 1.0 in three ways:
- Quality of Service (QoS): Enabled cable providers dynamically offer tiers of data service, not unlike how video services are sold as "basic" and "premium."
- Data Fragmentation: Assisted with isochronous services, such as voice-over-IP, or any service where data timeliness matters as much as raw speed.
- Enhanced Security: Augmented the existing (and unbroken) link layer security available in DOCSIS 1.0 with military-grade encryption, known as triple-DES.
