ADC Provides Homeworx Telephony System to Nanjing CATV.MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 1997-- Nanjing ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. brings integrated telephony and data solution to China's service providers ADC Telecommunications ADC Telecommunications (NASDAQ: ADCT) is a communications company located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, a southwest suburb of Minneapolis. History In 1935, Ralph Allison founded ADC Telecommunications in the basement of his south Minneapolis home, inventing ADC's very , Inc., announced today that Nanjing CATV (Community Antenna TV) The original name for cable TV. It used a single antenna at the highest location in the community in order to deliver a quality signal to homes in areas with hilly terrain or other interference. , located in Nanjing, China, has installed ADC's Homeworx(TM) telephony platform to deliver telephone service over its hybrid/fiber coax (HFC 1. (networking) HFC - Hybrid Fiber Coax. 2. (hardware) HFC - hydrofluorocarbon. ) network. Nanjing CATV is one of the first cable television operators in China to deploy telephony over an HFC architecture. Nanjing CATV operates a cable television network that serves over 400,000 subscribers in the city of Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province. Nanjing CATV recently completed a successful six-month trial of the Homeworx telephony system, and currently is delivering commercial service over that system. Nanjing CATV's plans call for continuing expansion of the number of telephone lines in its HFC network (Hybrid Fiber-Coax network) A communications network (typically a cable TV network) that uses a combination of optical fibers and coaxial cable. The fiber provides the high-speed backbone, and the coax is used to connect end users to the backbone. . "This project is a great milestone for the cable television station," said Mr. Zhao, Wei Chao, chief engineer of Nanjing CATV. "ADC's HFC technology has greatly expanded our network's capacity to evolve from offering video only to delivering cost-effective, integrated telephony and data services while utilizing our existing network structure." "The success of the Nanjing CATV six-month trial and the subsequent purchase of the Homeworx telephony system demonstrate that ADC has attained a leading position in HFC technology, and achieved product acceptance in the global market," said Vivek Ragavan, president of ADC's Broadband Communications Division. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. John Zhang, general manager of ADC's China operations, "Through Nanjing ADC, our joint venture with Nanjing Panda Electronics, we are well positioned to provide the most advanced technology to growing cable operators in China, such as Nanjing CATV." ADC Telecommunications formed a joint venture with Panda Electronics Group in China in August of 1996 in order to provide hybrid fiber/coax technology for telephony and data services delivery throughout China. In a related announcement, ADC also reported today that it has successfully completed the initial phase of interoperability testing of its Homeworx HFC system's V5.2 switch interface with the China Ministry of Posts and Telephone (MPT MPT Maryland Public Television MPT Modern Portfolio Theory (investing) MPT Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications MPT Message-Passing Toolkit MPT Master of Physical Therapy MPT Mitochondrial Permeability Transition ). V5.2 is the emerging global standard for the interface point between access network equipment and network switches. ADC and China MPT are among the first to conduct interoperability testing of the V5.2 interface. Additional testing is scheduled, followed by a field trial of the V5.2 interface. ADC's Homeworx telephony system, based on orthogonal At right angles. The term is used to describe electronic signals that appear at 90 degree angles to each other. It is also widely used to describe conditions that are contradictory, or opposite, rather than in parallel or in sync with each other. frequency division multiplexing See FDM. (communications) frequency division multiplexing - (FDM) The simultaneous transmission of multiple separate signals through a shared medium (such as a wire, optical fibre, or light beam) by modulating, at the transmitter, the separate signals into separable (OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) A digital transmission technique that uses a large number of carriers spaced apart at slightly different frequencies. ) technology, is a full-featured, high-performance transport system that supports integrated telephony and data service delivery from a single platform. The Homeworx system accommodates existing plant and services, while providing expansion for future services. The Homeworx system is ideally suited for the large-scale rollout of services to residential and small business customers, and it allows service providers to balance revenue with network investment. Nanjing CATV station serves 400,000 subscribers in the urban area of the city of Nanjing. Its network currently covers 70% of the city. Nanjing CATV is an affiliate of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, and provides cable television and other multimedia services for the public in the city of Nanjing. ADC Telecommunications, Inc. is a leading supplier of transmission and networking systems used to deliver voice, data and video services. The company holds a preeminent market position in physical connectivity products for wireless, fiber-optic, twisted pair A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable (Alexander Graham Bell invented this and was awarded a patent for it in 1881). and coaxial networks. Revenues for fiscal year 1997 are estimated to be $1.164 billion.
