Motorola Inc. has sold its EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) EuroDocsis customer premises equipment (CPE) business to Taiwan's Compal Broadband Networks.

Financial terms of the agreement aren't known yet, but two industry sources confirm that the deal went down, and Moto recently shared the news with resellers. The deal includes access to Moto's standalone Docsis modems as well as its voice-optimized embedded multimedia terminal adapters (EMTAs), and WiFi-enabled broadband gateways.

Motorola, a source notes, began to license its product designs and transfer its EuroDocsis CPE inventory, assets, and sales support responsibilities to Compal Broadband on Jan. 6, 2010. Motorola has been asked for comment, but the company has not yet confirmed any details involving the sale.

But Cable Digital News has learned that, going forward, Compal, a Moto partner for about two years, will be playing point for all sales and support for Moto Docsis CPEs in the EMEA region. Motorola "will continue to receive the original quality of Motorola with the manufacturing economics of scale afforded by Compal," Moto told resellers, according to info obtained by Cable Digital News. That gear will also continue to carry the Moto brand.
