NEW ORLEANS -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) Broadband Communications Sector today introduced the Motorola SG900 -- the latest addition to Motorola's Starline(R) optical node product line -- at the National Cable and Telecommunications Association's (NCTA) Cable 2002 (Booth #1623, Ernest N. Morial Convention Center). Weighing only 7.5 pounds, the Motorola SG900 is the company's smallest single-output optical node and provides a price/performance ratio that is ideal for fiber deep architectures, multiple dwelling units (MDUs) and other fiber-rich applications. "The Motorola SG900 is specially designed for broadband network operators who want to upgrade the performance of their fiber architectures, but do not require an advanced feature set," said Charles Dougherty, vice president and general manager of Motorola's transmission network systems business. "Its small size, high performance and reliability make it the ideal choice for fiber-deep designs." Motorola Inc.
