"Cable operators are approaching a major crossroad," said RodPeery, C-COR's Director of Sales, EMEA.

"This PacketCable Multimedia-based technology enables many new,dynamic services for cable operators," said Charles Cheevers, ARRISCTO, Europe. "With this technology, cable operators can enhance theirpresent network capabilities to further differentiate their offeringsfrom competitors' services and lead the broadband industry. We areexcited about demonstrating this unique PCMM-based feature on the C3ahead of its general availability, which is anticipated to be in thesecond half of this year."
C-COR's Policy Service Manager provides dynamic, on demandbandwidth management to enable many of today's popular multimediaapplications such as video-on-demand, gaming, and Internet telephony.PSM ensures standards-based quality of service (QoS) based onCableLabs(R) PacketCable(TM) Multimedia (PCMM) specifications. Itprovides cable operators with a powerful set of capabilities,including:
-- Dynamic adjustments to bandwidth to ensure QoS for real-time and multimedia applications, eliminate capital costs of over-provisioning, and enable potential revenue from bandwidth-on-demand;
-- Standards-based to interface with industry-leading CMTS vendors and back office recordkeeping servers for event-based billing;
-- Application Management and Service Level control for subscribers to enable advanced billing options;
-- Distributed architecture to scale to any scope or capacity;
-- Proactive congestion management to allow bandwidth management based on projected network congestion conditions; and
-- Security to proactively prevent network abuse and bandwidth consumption beyond Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
The ARRIS Cadant C3 CMTS is DOCSIS(R) 2.0 qualified / Euro-DOCSIS2.0 based and has the versatility to provide a wide array ofresidential and commercial services (high speed data, VoIP, Layer 2VPN, DS1, Wireless DOCSIS). A digital receiver, ingress noisecancellation and advanced error correction capability provide superiorRF performance for challenging HFC plant conditions. The high densitydesign (3,000 registered cable modems in 1RU) has the configurationflexibility (2, 4 or 6 upstream channels) to match anticipated trafficpatterns. Traffic load balancing between upstream channels is doneperiodically based on bandwidth utilization. Layer 3 routing (OSPF,RIP, static) and Layer 2 bridging are provisionable on a persub-interface basis. A dual processor architecture with Fast/GigabitEthernet interfaces facilitates high packet throughput.
