Using the AlphaGateway capabilities, operators gain flexibility for interactive device placement with minimal capital investment.



"The broadband industry faces many pressures to deliver high-quality networks that are dependable and efficient," said Tom Gorman, program director for the Diamond Technology Review Program.
