| BigBand Networks Unveils BEQ 6000 BigBand Networks has unveiled its "universal" edge quadrature amplitude modulation platform — the Broadband Edge QAM 6000 — designed to deliver a wide range of services, including video-on-demand (VOD), switched digital video, network PVR, video-over-DOCSIS, high-speed data and VoIP. BigBand believes it is the first company to deploy universal edge QAMs to provide switched digital video and modular cable modem termination system. Cox Communications is deploying the BigBand BEQ6000 to power its SDV deployment in Northern Virginia. Dutch operator Multikabel has deployed the BEQ6000 platform for M-CMTS to provide high-speed data and voice-over-IP services, and Japanese operators Cable Networks Akita, Hino Cable Television and Bay Communications are using the BEQ6000 to deliver high-speed data services as well. BigBand's SDV and M-CMTS are two of the most economically beneficial technology solutions in the cable industry. SDV is designed to allow cable operators to expand to virtually infinite programming and increasingly personalize content by delivering programs only where they are requested. BigBand's M-CMTS can substantially lower the cost of increasing broadband speeds by leveraging the BEQ6000 to perform some of the capabilities traditionally performed by the CMTS core. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
