Bresnan Communications for Rollout of High-Speed Data Services Throughout the
Rocky Mountain
Region
Motorola’s
next-generation, carrier-class platform emerges as the CMTS/router of choice
among cable operators
ANAHEIM, Ca. –
3 Dec. 2003 – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) Broadband Communications Sector
today announced that Bresnan Communications has chosen the Motorola Broadband
Services Router (BSR) 64000 for deployment of high-speed data services to
customers in its Rocky Mountain Region. In addition to the rollout of
high-speed data services, the platform will be leveraged to support future
advanced services deployments in the
region.
Bresnan selected the next-generation
Motorola BSR 64000 CMTS/router following a trial deployment and testing
of the platform’s advanced features. Motorola will work closely with
Bresnan to implement advanced IP-based services throughout Bresnan’s
footprint.
“We challenged Motorola to
fit a demanding set of requirements specific to our unique needs. The Motorola
BSR 64000 was the one CMTS/router platform that met those requirements to
support high-speed offerings, including flexibility, reliability, while
positioning us for future services,” commented Shawn Fisher, director of
advanced services at Bresnan Communications. “In addition, the Motorola
technology provides ease of both deployment and operation, which are vital
attributes as we expand our system. The Motorola BSR 64000 has proven itself to
be the best platform not only to support our current high-speed data services,
but to accommodate future advanced services
deployments.”
“Bresnan’s
dedication to quality of service and support is evident through its ongoing
service deployments and system upgrades throughout the region,” said
Charles
Dougherty, Motorola vice president and general manager,
network infrastructure solutions. “As a long-time leading supplier to the
industry, Motorola is proud to partner with Bresnan, a company which sets
extremely high standards for both the technologies and vendors on which it
relies. This relationship further solidifies Motorola’s position as the
market leader in CMTS/router technology.”
This news follows the companies’ May 27,
2003 announcement of Bresnan’s selection of the Motorola BSR 64000 for a
3,000-mile infrastructure upgrade throughout its cable systems in Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado and Utah.
About the
Motorola BSR 64000
The Motorola BSR
64000’s high-performance, high-density design – based on centralized
routing and distributed forwarding – provides the benefits of simple
configuration (single router appearance), scalable performance (each additional
line card brings an associated forwarding engine), and low cost of entry
(operators need only purchase the forwarding power required). With its
hardware-based packet processing, the Motorola BSR 64000 can support large
populations of modems and multiple services through its appropriate treatment in
real time.
