Microtune to Showcase Latest Tuner Technology at ANGA Cable 2007
COLOGNE, Germany --(Business Wire)-- Microtune(R), Inc., (Nasdaq:TUNE) this week will showcase a series of key tuner technologies, reference designs and consumer end products at ANGA Cable 2007, the trade fair for cable, satellite and multimedia held in Cologne, Germany. Industry-leading radio frequency (RF) solutions, including those supporting DOCSIS(R) 2.0, DOCSIS 3.0, ATSC, DVB-C, DVB-T and DVB-H, will be on display May 22-24 at Microtune's stand (Hall 10.2, #G20) during the show at the Koelnmesse, Congress Centrum East.
Microtune is a world-leading supplier of single-chip silicon TV tuners and its technology provides the critical RF electronics that enable the reception of video, voice and data across consumer products and equipment--cable and terrestrial set-top boxes, embedded multimedia terminal adaptors (EMTAs), VoIP cable modems, digital television products and an emerging class of portable and mobile digital TV devices.
NEW DOCSIS 3.0 CABLE TUNER
A key highlight of the show this year will be the unveiling in Europe of Microtune's new DOCSIS 3.0 wideband tuner. The new tuner chip, the MicroTuner(TM) MT2170, enables a wider (100 MHz) and faster (160 Mbps) pipeline into the home to dramatically increase cable modem transmission speeds and flexibility. Offering the equivalent functionality of four DOCSIS 2.0 tuners, the MT2170 chip shrinks the RF footprint by 75%, cuts power consumption by 75% and significantly reduces BOM costs for DOCSIS 3.0 cable equipment manufacturers. It permits cable operators to deliver faster, scalable broadband Internet services, including movie downloads, IP video downloads, video file exchanges, time-shifted and place-shifted video, IP voice and interactive on-line gaming.
Other important displays at Microtune's exhibit will showcase low-cost DVB-T, DVB-C, cable modem, ATSC and hybrid Reference Designs and DVB-T, DVB-C, ATSC and cable-modem customer designs. Microtune's product portfolio will be featured in solutions that span a range of worldwide standards, applications and price/performance levels, including:
-- DVB-T SCART set-top boxes
-- Dual-tuner PVR set-top boxes
-- Single and dual-tuner DVB-C set-top boxes
