Motorola
Broadband Communications Sector is exhibiting its latest
broadband technologies at ANGA Cable 2002 taking place in
Germany.
Motorola
developed these technologies as part of its commitment to
provide full, end-to-end, "triple-play" solutions that are
tailored to the needs of European broadband network operators.
The company claims that these latest solutions provide operators
with an economic means of deploying the equipment needed
to offer subscribers the latest "in-demand" digital and
analog video, high-speed data, and IP telephony services.
Technologies
being exhibited at ANGA include:
1.The
Motorola DVi1000 Set-Top -The set-top is an enhanced-broadcast
digital cable platform that can be deployed at the same
price point as analog cable set-tops -- while delivering
more programming channels and the subscriber benefits that
come with digital cable. In addition to receiving high-quality
digital cable broadcast, subscribers with a DVi1000 set-top
benefit from an expanded channel line-up, superior user
interface, and telco-return for impulse pay-per- view (PPV).
2. The Motorola DVi3000 - This new, interactive digital
set-top is a core digital-interactive cable platform that
provides expanded channel capacity, virtual channels, and
hyperlinking capabilities. In addition, the interactive
DVi3000 set-top supports real-time reverse- path communications,
providing a gateway to interactive services such as video-on-demand
(VOD), thin-client TV-based Internet, and electronic programme
guides.and IP telephony.

TMX-2010 Transport Stream Multiplexer with SE-1010 Slim
Line MPEG-2 Encoder - This product combination provides
a low-cost, compact, DVB- compliant solution for converting
analog programming to digital for either simulcasting analog
and digital programming or converting to all-digital cable
systems. The SE-1010 is the result of five generations of
digital compression technology research and development
and has been specifically engineered to provide excellent
video quality at low bit rates.
4.
Pre-Encryption for Video-on-Demand (VOD) - To lower the
cost and speed the deployment of VOD services, Motorola
has launched a range of pre- encryption products and services.
Using the Motorola pre-encryption approach, server-based
VOD content is stored in an encrypted form, then delivered
directly to viewers without further encryption processing.
This
saves the cost of significant encryption hardware at the
headend and allows systems to rapidly and economically scale
to large numbers of VOD subscribers.
5.
ChromaStream DVB-ASI Transport system - The scalable DVB-ASI
Transport System enables deployment of VOD by multiplexing
four DVB-ASI streams per ITU wavelengths per fiber. This
system is extremely flexible, incorporating wavelength-flattened
EDFAs, optical add/drop and band splitters, optical switches
and add/drop muxes.
6.
Electra L-Band Satellite Transmission System - The Electra
1310 nm and ITU/1550 nm transmitter line is specifically
designed for remote satellite downlink applications. As
part of the Constellation platform system, which features
complementary modules such as Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers
(EDFA), Optical Switches and Receivers, the Electra offers
network operators an inexpensive solution for headend consolidation
and connection to remote satellite antennas.
