Horry Telephone Cooperative Selects Motorola
Multi-Service Access Platform to Deliver “Connected Home”
Applications
The Motorola
solution enables HTC to offer advanced voice, video and data services to
residential customers in Myrtle Beach, SC, and accommodate future growth.
ORLANDO. – 17 November 2004 –
Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) and Horry Telephone Cooperative, Inc. (HTC), today
announced that HTC will leverage the Motorola
Multi-Service Access
Platform to deliver advanced “connected
home” services to communities developed by Burroughs & Chapin Company,
Inc., a major Horry County, SC real estate developer.
The announcement was made at the TelcoTV Show
(Orlando, 16-18 November 2004, Booth #400), where Motorola is demonstrating its
service delivery solutions for the connected
home.
Motorola’s platform provides HTC
with a foundation for the delivery of advanced “services including
high-end video services, high-speed data, and telephony to Myrtle Beach
residents. Supporting both existing and next-generation services,
Motorola’s integrated and stand-alone Passive Optical Networking (PON)
solutions deliver a full range of narrowband and broadband services to homes,
businesses and remote terminals. Most importantly, PON provides the necessary
bandwidth to deliver the triple play of voice, video and data to residential
customers over a cost-effective FTTP network.
“This is an outstanding example of three
leaders in their respective markets teaming to deliver a first-of-kind service
for consumers,” said Michael Hagg, president, Horry Telephone Cooperative.
“The Motorola platform enables us to cost-effectively and efficiently
deploy fiber to the home, offer advanced high-value services, and easily
accommodate future expansion – both in subscribers and
services.”
“Horry Telecom’s
aggressive rollout to two Burroughs & Chapin Myrtle Beach communities is a
milestone – marking the first fiber-to-the-home deployment in the
region,” said Bruce
Swail, Motorola corporate vice president and general
manager, telecom access solutions. “Horry’s decision to roll out
voice, video, and data broadband services dictates the need for an architecture
that can not only work in conjunction with existing network infrastructure, but
also can accommodate the addition of new services, and scale to meet subscriber
base growth down the road. The Motorola platform makes this
possible.”
The Motorola Telecom Access
Solutions business enables telecommunication service providers to deliver
revenue-generating “connected home” applications to consumers and
businesses.
