Motorola Launches New Infrastructure
Foundation Products for the Delivery of Advanced Network Services at ANGA Cable
2004
Motorola builds upon its
broadband market leadership with a series of four new HFC network infrastructure
products to allow cable operators to offer advanced network services to
consumers.
KÖLN, Germany, 12 May 2004
— Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today extended its infrastructure product
portfolio with the introduction of four new products for Hybrid Fiber Coaxial
(HFC) networks. These products form an essential foundation for broadband
operators to reliably deploy advanced services – enabling them to deliver
Motorola’s “connected home” experience to
subscribers.
Motorola’s new HFC products
include the Motorola OmniStar® GX2 Mini-Chassis, Motorola MPN
Modular Pedestal Node, and two bi-directional amplifiers -- the Motorola
IVK87*/* House Amplifier, and the Motorola SLE87*/* Starline® Line
Extender. These four solutions complement Motorola’s existing suite
of infrastructure products to accommodate the varying network requirements for
video-on-demand (VOD), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony, high-speed
Internet data, and more. These additional services allow consumers to stay
informed, entertained and connected throughout their homes.
The space-saving and cost-effective
mini-chassis for the Motorola OmniStar GX2 optical broadband transmission
platform provides a valuable solution for system requirements that only require
a few application modules. The product is ideally suited to remote locations or
low-density applications such as a long transport link that requires a single
mid-span optical amplifier or delivering video and data services to a school
with one forward-path receiver and one return transmitter. The two-rack unit
mini-chassis utilizes the same application modules as the high-density, four
rack-unit Motorola OmniStar GX2 Chassis.
The Motorola MPN is a scalable optical
node for pedestal applications that utilizes leading technology developed in
Motorola's SG4000 Modular Optical Node. This ability enables cable
operators to cost effectively enhance their networks as they
require.
Motorola
also announced two bi-directional amplifiers: The Motorola IVK87*/* House
Amplifier is a cost effective and reliable in-home amplifier for improving
signal quality throughout the home, and the Motorola SLE87*/* Starline®
Line Extender, which offers cable operators a high performing amplifier
solution in a design that has been optimized to reduce system
costs.
“Built on the same innovation and
knowledge that has made Motorola Broadband the leader in cable networks for more
than 50 years, these infrastructure products deliver unique solutions for our
customers today,” said Chuck
Dougherty, Motorola vice president and general manager,
network infrastructure solutions. “Today’s announcement is a great
example of Motorola’s commitment to providing end-to-end solutions for
EMEA cable operators, helping them deliver the ‘connected home’
experience to their customers.”
Motorola’s new HFC products will be
showcased at ANGA Cable 2004 (Koln, Germany) at the Motorola stand B4,
Hall 13.1.
