Scientific-Atlanta is working with Bermuda CableVision to install and activate a two-way system that will be able to offer subscribers a range of new digital services, including an interactive program guide (IPG), Video on Demand (VOD) and other interactive applications on the island of Bermuda.

Scientific-Atlanta is providing technology, service and support to enable the network, which will serve customers across the island. Bermuda CableVision has been providing cable television services to the island of Bermuda for more than a decade. The new system will include Scientific-Atlanta's PowerVu® multiplexers and receivers, a digital network control system, QAM modulators, QPSK modulators and Explorer® set-tops. The installation, activation, provisioning and support are being handled by Scientific-Atlanta's SciCare(tm) Broadband Services. The system was launched earlier this month.

"Scientific-Atlanta's expertise in building and launching digital interactive networks is critical to us as we roll out this new interactive system," said Jeremy Elmas, general manager of Bermuda CableVision. "The capabilities of this network will allow us to deliver a much broader choice of television entertainment and programming to our subscribers while increasing our revenue opportunities."

"We've demonstrated our ability to help operators around the world launch reliable digital networks quickly and efficiently," said Tom Nilson, vice president and managing director, Americas region, Scientific-Atlanta. "We are confident that we will be able to do the same for Bermuda CableVision as they bring dynamic interactive services to their subscribers throughout the island."
