Arcwave to Present on Wireless Commercial Services at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2005; Wireless Technology Workshop to Present Best Practices from Hundreds of Successful Wireless Plant Extension Deployments.

CAMPBELL, Calif. -- Arcwave, Inc., a provider of wireless solutions for the cable industry, today announced that Chris Martin, vice president of marketing for Arcwave, will address the role of wireless in enabling cable operators to reach the commercial market in a presentation at the SCTE (Society of Cable and Telecommunications Engineers) Cable-Tec Expo 2005 conference on Thursday June 16th and Friday June 17th in San Antonio, TX.

As a part of the Wireless Technology Workshop on "Implementing Wireless Plant Extensions into the HFC Network," Martin will present on "Effective Integration of Wireless and Cable Technology." The workshop, led by Thomas Garcia, network operations manager for Comcast Cable Communications, will be held on Thursday, June 16, from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and again on Friday, June 17, from 1:30 to 2:45 p.m.

In addition, Arcwave will demonstrate the company's ARCXtend product line, which has been certified by 9 of the top 13 cable operators and is now deployed in more than 100 distinct regions, and its new ARCNet Element Management System solution for managing large scale ARCXtend deployments. The demonstrations will be held at the conference between June 14th and June 17th in Booth 1232 in the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. ARCXtend is the first wireless plant extension solution that enables cable operators to leverage their extensive hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) networks and advanced IP service capability to target a large portion of the small-to-medium-sized business voice and high-speed data market that has been previously unreachable due to cost, regulatory or deployment delay considerations. ARCXtend seamlessly integrates into a cable operator's network and operating infrastructure creating a wireless bridge for the transmission of the cable industry's DOCSIS standard signals between the wired network and one or more customer sites at speeds significantly faster than DSL.

Martin's white paper, "Wireless Plant Extension: Effective Integration of Wireless and Cable Technology," will be available at the conference. In addition a white paper by Dan Castellano, vice president of engineering for Arcwave, entitled "Wireless Plant Extension Case Studies," will also be available at the conference.
