All manufacturers are required to send their modems to IDA for type-approval before they can be sold in the retail market here in Singapore.
In addition, each individual modem brought in by manufacturers also come tagged with its own unique Mac ID. When manufacturers send their modems to StarHub for type-approval, they will also issue a corresponding set of Mac IDs to StarHub to be stored and authorised in our database before the modems can be put on sale. So without both the type-approval and the HFC Mac ID in our database, the cable modem will not work in StarHub's network.
