Looking to provide ultra fast Internet speeds and advanced services to its customers, Massillon Cable TV, Inc. reportedly selected Motorola BSR 64000 Cable Modem Termination System and the high density Motorola (News - Alert) TX32 downstream module. Motorola said that the contract showcases the company’s ability to meet the increasing online traffic demands faced by cable operators all over the world.

 

Cable service providers often look to expand existing broadband service tiers to provide more features and a faster Internet connection to their customers. At the same time, they want to keep the costs down to stay profitable and compete with other companies in the market.

 

With Motorola I-CMTS, operators can provide a migration path to the roll out of services and additional functionality as the network and customers demand. The Motorola I-CMTS platform lets Massillon Cable hasten the deployment of DOCSIS 3.0 based services to its customers. It also provides total spectrum management capabilities, apart from addressing congestion issues that can potentially impact bandwidth delivery to the customer.

 

“Motorola has proven I-CMTS deployments with large cable operators worldwide,” said Kevin Keefe, vice president of marketing, Access Networks Solutions, Motorola Home and Mobility Networks, in a statement. “The selection of an I-CMTS solution by Massillon marks an important shift in the market where operators, no matter their size, recognize the need to evolve their networks to DOCSIS 3.0, while keeping expenses low and operations simple.”

 

With Motorola I-CMTS platform, operators get a high-density, DOCSIS standards-based, fully redundant CMTS/intelligent edge router. This allows the broadband operators to quickly introduce differentiated data, voice, and multimedia services and stay ahead of competition in the market. Also, the fully redundant TX32 Decoupled Downstream module provides significant downstream capacity, Motorola said.

 

Recently, the company entered into a $2.9 million contract with the “Orlando Utilities Commission” to provide a suite of dispatch consoles, control stations and portable and mobile radios. These products will be used for a new radio system that makes use of Orange County’s existing Motorola Smartzone interoperable network, Motorola officials said.
