PHILADELPHIA, PA--(Marketwire - June 26, 2008) - SCTE Cable-Tec EXPO -- Cisco (
NASDAQ:
CSCO) announced today that Japan's Jupiter Telecommunications Co., Ltd.
(J:COM) has started receiving shipments of the Cisco® DPC3000 DOCSIS 3.0
Channel Bonded Cable Modem for use in its J:COM NET Ultra 160M Course
broadband service, which offers download speeds of up to 160 Mbps. The
Cisco DPC3000 was one of the first modems to be
awarded CableLabs® Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications
(DOCSIS®) 3.0 certification.
By incorporating four bonded channels for both the downstream and upstream
data, the Cisco DPC3000 can deliver downstream data rates in excess of 160
Mbps and upstream data rates up to 120 Mbps. This dramatic increase in
speed will help take consumers to a new level of performance with faster
access to on-demand, feature-rich entertainment and communications, while
enabling service providers to optimize existing bandwidth.
"The launch of our broadband service, which offers download speeds of up to
160 Mbps, has led to an overall rise in Internet subscribers," said Tatsuya
Yoshihara, deputy general manager of the Service Strategy Division at
J:COM, the largest broadband cable operator in Japan. "Combining J:COM's
reputation as a technology leader in the cable television industry with the
extensive IP heritage and video delivery expertise of Cisco will position
us to provide rapid, reliable access to a host of experiences."
The Cisco DPC3000 Channel Bonded Cable Modem is designed to meet the DOCSIS
3.0 specifications, which feature support of four bonded downstream
channels and four bonded upstream channels. It is designed to be
backward-compatible for use as a single-channel cable modem with DOCSIS
2.0, 1.1 or 1.0 networks. This comprehensive approach to interoperability
makes the Cisco DOCSIS 3.0 Channel Bonded Cable Modem an excellent choice
to support high-speed service, providing the potential for a migration path
to even more advanced services for consumers as cable operators deliver the
Connected Life.
In addition to DOCSIS 3.0-compliant cable modems, the Cisco downstream
channel-bonding solution features the Cisco uBR10012 cable modem
termination systems (CMTS) and Cisco xDQA-24 edge quadrature amplitude
modulators (QAMs).
