Moto Notches Docsis 3.0 Win in China

BEIJING -- Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) Home and Networks Mobility announced today that Beijing Gehua CATV Network Co. Ltd. has deployed its BSR 64000 Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) to deliver high-speed Internet access and interactive services. This deployment marks a significant milestone for Motorola in China’s cable market, reaffirming Motorola’s global leadership position in video solutions and its ability to cost effectively deliver broadband everywhere.

Beijing Gehua is a leading cable operator in China offering cable TV, Internet access and communications services to more than 4,000,000 households in Beijing. The operator is among a growing list of cable operators worldwide that are upgrading toMotorola’s Integrated Cable Modem Termination System (I-CMTS) solution as a way to address the increasing demands for personalized media experiences. The I-CMTS solution is currently powering Beijing Gehua’s advanced offerings, and will support its upcoming roll-out of Video on Demand (VOD) service.

Motorola’s BSR 64000 is a proven, high-density, standards-based and fully redundant CMTS/intelligent edge router that allows operators like Beijing Gehua to rapidly introduce differentiated data, voice and multimedia services.

"Motorola has developed extensive expertise in I-CMTS deployments with large cable operators worldwide," said Drina Yue, vice president, Motorola Home & Networks Mobility Regional Management, Asia Pacific. “We are excited to work with Beijing Gehua as they begin to introduce high-speed broadband experiences to their subscribers in Beijing. Motorola’s I-CMTS solution can offer operators, like Beijing Gehua, the ability to reduce their cost per downstream channel, resulting in the highly cost-effective delivery of advanced services to their subscribers.”

Built to evolve, Motorola’s I-CMTS solution makes DOCSIS 3.0 economically viable to operators, by providing a software migration path from DOCSIS 2.0 to DOCSIS 3.0 to support the roll out of high speed data services as well as additional IP-based functionality, as demanded by the network and its customers. Motorola’s I-CMTS is compatible with existing infrastructure including DOCSIS 1.x and 2.0 cable modems, which enables operators to quickly enhance their offerings while maintaining uninterrupted support of existing operations. Moreover, operators can expand system capacity by adding multiple TX32 Decoupled Downstream Modules and in the future, add RX series upstream modules, to offer additional scalability and flexibility to meet rapidly growing customer demand for ultra-broadband Internet services.
