A Nokia sale of mobile, especially to the US, would be nuts
Nokia's hiring of Intel's Justin Hotard to be its new CEO has set tongues wagging again about a mobile exit, but it would look counterintuitive and inadvisable.
Introduces portfolio of optical and RF-based telecommunications solutions for business customers
May 12, 2003
ATLANTA -- The miles and miles of cable television transmission networks that pass businesses are a virtually untapped resource for new revenue for cable operators. To help operators seize this service-expanding opportunity, Scientific-Atlanta announced the introduction of a portfolio of optical and RF-based telecommunications solutions for business customers at SCTE's Cable-Tec Expo 2003 in Philadelphia, May 11-14, 2003.
The portfolio of products includes Scientific-Atlanta's new family of RF- based BroadLAN(TM) products, along with an expansion of Scientific-Atlanta's widely deployed Prisma IP(TM) video, data and voice multi-service optical transport platform, and the Prisma(R) CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) products, and offers service and revenue expansion opportunities that can enable cable operators to offer high-speed data (HSD), voice and video services to businesses.
"We believe offering data, voice and video services to businesses is the MSO's best 'new' opportunity for profitable growth. Our research shows that dial-up, ISDN, DSL or cable modems are used by more than 80 percent of businesses for data connections," said Paul Connolly, vice president of marketing and network architectures at Scientific-Atlanta. "But, those services generate only about 20 percent of the total revenue for business data connectivity. The real revenue generators, as much as 80 percent, are from added-value, higher-speed services such as VPN (Virtual Private Network), EPL (Ethernet Private LAN), TLS (Transparent LAN Service), and dedicated T1, T3 and OC3 lines. Our family of business service solutions gives cable operators the capability to offer a wide range of voice and data connectivity services on their cable networks, and the opportunity to capture a greater share of that 80 percent revenue figure."
