Motorola Demonstrates Multiservice Broadband Access Solutions for the ‘Connected Home’ at USTA TELECOM ’03

Solutions enable operators to deploy scalable triple play broadband services – telephony, high-speed data/Internet, and digital entertainment – all from a single, scalable platform

LAS VEGAS – 13 Oct. 2003 – Leveraging its proven broadband portfolio from the Next Level Communications business with combined synergies from its Broadband Communications Sector, Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) is showcasing an array of flexible, integrated broadband access solutions at the USTA TELECOM '03 annual conference and exhibition, to be held 11-15 October 2003, at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.

The Motorola-Next Level product portfolio on display at USTA TELECOM ’03 represents a reliable and complete broadband entertainment platform available to communications service providers. Designed from the ground up for the delivery of entertainment services, these scalable products are engineered to enable customers to quickly and profitably deploy any combination of wireline and wireless solutions. Above all, the products are backed by the vendor with a truly end-to-end multiservice access solution, an unparalleled heritage in building broadband entertainment networks, and a proven commitment to the market.

In addition to the Motorola Next Level booth (#618), Motorola is demonstrating a wide array of “connected home” technology solutions at the “Motorola Home Pavilion,” located centrally on the show floor. The Motorola Home Pavilion gives attendees the opportunity to see the products in a networked home environment, in addition to the traditional trade show setting. The pavilion also combines Next Level technologies with Motorola wireless home networking solutions for gaming and other Wi-Fi applications. More importantly, it provides a tangible example at USTA TELECOM ’03 on how Motorola is uniquely positioned to integrate technologies to deliver the broadband solutions that communication service providers want to deploy to their customers.

“Motorola’s telecom solutions are designed to enable rapid and cost-effective implementation of new advanced services for the ‘connected home’ – without requiring the considerable time and expense of an extensive network overbuild. Our customers have told us that this type of flexibility is one of their principal platform requirements as they seek to deploy voice, high-speed data, and broadcast digital video services. We are proud to be unveiling the comprehensive Motorola platform at TELECOM ’03 – both in our booth as well as the ‘Motorola Home Pavilion,’ Attendees will have the opportunity to see our capabilities in a variety of settings,” said Bruce Swail, Motorola vice president and general manager and president, Motorola Next Level Communications.

The solutions that being showcased at the Motorola Next Level booth (#618) and in the Motorola Home Pavilion include:

Motorola Multiservice Access Platform. This product delivers any combination of “triple-play” services (telephony, high-speed Internet and digital video) through one common platform using xDSL applications via Digital Loop Carrier and FTTP technologies. No matter how complex the service mix and how varied the deployment scenarios, customers deploying the Multi-Service Access Platform will be using common access equipment, common management systems, and common gateway technology to deliver a consistent customer experience, whether served through existing copper or fiber.

Motorola Broadband Digital Terminal 2 (BDT2). The Motorola BDT2 acts as the hub for all service applications of the Multi-Service Access Platform. Residing at the central office, the BDT2 system works in conjunction with Motorola’s remote terminals and Residential Gateways™ to provide highly scalable telephony, data, digital broadcast video, and on-demand services for any deployment scenario – DLC, xDSL and fiber-to-the premises (FTTP).

Motorola Residential Gateway 2200 (RG2200). The Motorola RG2200 is a world-class set-top box that supports cable and satellite communications and entertainment services over the telecommunications infrastructure. As part of the Motorola Multi-Service Access Platform, the RG2200 bundles voice, data, broadcast and on-demand video services. The RG2200 family of products provides customers a “whole-home” solution, operating as a single access device to the home, the RG2200 can deliver two or three concurrent streams of DVD quality video to provide the functionality of multiple set-top boxes. In addition, the RG2200 can be used to offer high speed Internet access, on-screen Caller ID, and interactive features (e.g., pay-per-view (PPV), VOD, and interactive TV applications.

Motorola Broadband Services Access Multiplexer (BSAM). The Motorola BSAM provides high-capacity throughput and port density for broadcast television, video-on-demand (VOD), data, and interactive TV applications to the home or business over an existing copper infrastructure. The BSAM was specifically designed to support areas with dense subscriber populations including large multi-dwelling units and concentrated urban, suburban, and campus environments.

Motorola Universal Services Access Multiplexer (USAM). The Motorola USAM provides high-capacity throughput and port density for broadcast television, VOD, interactive TV applications and telephony and data services to the home or business, over an existing copper infrastructure. The USAM was specifically designed to support areas with mid-to-low density subscriber populations including multi-dwelling units, urban, suburban, and campus environments. Additionally, the USAM product offers customers the ability to consider broadband data, broadcast video, and VOD overlay strategies. Customers can protect their current investment while rapidly deploying a broadband data and video solution throughout their existing network infrastructure.

Motorola Universal Service Access Multiplexer Single Shelf Enclosure 2 (USAM SSE2). Providing a cost-effective, single-shelf solution designed to support low-density deployments and broadband overlay configurations the USAM SSE2 improves the economics of broadband service deployments by minimizing cabinet expenses. With the USAM SSE2, full bundled services can be economically and quickly extended deeper into the customer serving area. The USAM SSE2 connects easily to existing remote terminal equipment and supports the rapid deployment of high-speed data, video, and VOD services.

Network Infrastructure Solutions:
Motorola MWT. The Motorola MWT is a flexible, high-density multiservice Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM) and optical amplification platform that supports mixed 2.5G and 10G services. Integrated within Motorola’s industry-leading portfolio of multiservice transport solutions, including the Multiservice Broadband Transport (MBT) platform, the Motorola MWT enables telecom and cable operators to converge today’s metro network with an advanced optical network supporting integrated transport and delivery of services such as voice telephony, high-speed Internet/data access, and video on demand (VOD). The MBT platform complements the MWT by unifying intelligent optical transport with multiservice aggregation and switching to support the economical and efficient provisioning of a wide array of high-bandwidth services.

Motorola MBT5000. The Motorola Multiservice Broadband Transport solution simplifies service providers' networks and enables the delivery of next-generation data services - including Gigabit Ethernet - as well as SONET-based services rapidly, efficiently and cost-effectively. Deployed in headend and hub environments, the MBT Multiservice Broadband Transport Platform addresses the challenges associated with delivering high-growth, differentiated packet services over today's resilient SONET-based infrastructure.

Motorola OA500. The Motorola OA500 series is a family of low-noise, gain-flattened Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) with variable gain settings and Automatic Gain Control (AGC) that's ideal for Metro and Long-Haul Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) applications. The optical design, coupled with its sophisticated control circuit, allows this EDFA to provide constant gain as wavelengths are added or dropped in the network. Any fluctuations from 0 to 40 wavelengths can be handled with its ultra-fast transient suppression. With variable output power, diverse link lengths can be easily accommodated and system design changes can be managed remotely without network redesigns.

Motorola ONT1000. The Motorola ONT1000, an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) that is designed to bridge the gap between the optical network and the consumer premise, together with Quantum Bridge's QB5000™ and QB3000™ Optical Line Terminals (OLT), delivers flexible voice, video, and data services to residential and SOHO customers.
