These Motorola capabilities enable the highest quality video entertainment and broadband experiences available in the market today.

“We see this as a great opportunity to deliver the highest quality video and broadband services available today to our subscribers,” said Jason Becker, General Manager, Middleburgh Telephone Company. “We believe Motorola has the right solutions to help us as we evolve our infrastructure from HFC to GPON based fiber-to-the-home (FTTH). We chose Motorola because of the success we’ve had working with them in the past, and because of the company’s extensive expertise in GPON and video deployments.”
