C-COR Brings IP-Era Transport and On Demand Solutions to NAB 2005.STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- C-COR Incorporated (Nasdaq:CCBL CCBL Crescent Commercial Bank Limited (Pakistan) CCBL Cambodia Campaign to Ban Landmines CCBL Configuration Control Baseline CCBL CPEDB Configuration Baseline Listing CCBL Chinese Christian Basketball League ), a global provider of interoperable solutions that simplify the transition to on demand networks, heads into NAB 2005 (Las Vegas Convention Center The Las Vegas Convention Center is owned and operated by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and is located in Clark County, Nevada. It is one of the largest Convention centers in the world. At the end of 2004, the center had 3. , April 18-21) with an expanded open-architecture portfolio of solutions to launch HD (high definition) IP (Internet Protocol) video, voice, and high-speed data applications over advanced broadband networks. C-COR's exhibit (Booth SU11531, South Hall) will showcase the Company's HD video transport, intelligent packet transport with advanced QoS (Quality of Service), video backhaul, Fiber-to-the-Premise system, and on demand management solutions. Specific active demonstrations will highlight C-COR's dual solution capabilities to transport both uncompressed HD video as well as video over IP with an interface to the Company's on demand management system for VOD See video-on-demand. VoD - video on demand content management. New C-COR products featured at this year's NAB include: --The MPS (Multi-Service Packet Switch), the industry's first L2-based, 10 Gigabit RPR (Resilient Packet Ring) A packet-based protocol that provides fault tolerance and statistical multiplexing for the metropolitan and national SONET and Ethernet networks of the carriers. (Resilient Packet Ring See RPR. ) system that uses a flow networking technology to provide QoS for transport of IP over Ethernet. RPR technology combines the high availability and reliability of existing voice-optimized circuit-switched infrastructures with the superior bandwidth utilization, simplicity, and cost advantages of Ethernet. These capabilities make RPR well suited to support converged multi-service networks that carry bandwidth-hungry data, voice, and video traffic. --The 2 GigE and 10 GigE PLEXiS(TM) that complements the MPS as a next-generation transport platform and combines Gigabit Ethernet transport modules with DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing and CWDM (Course WDM) An optical transmission method that is used for shorter distances than dense WDM (DWDM). Also known as "wide WDM," CWDM transmits fewer channels and uses wider spacing between the channels for distances up to 60 km. Wider spacing up to 25 nm, compared to 1. hardware to provide a true network core-to-customer premise transport solution for services such as VOD, HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates , broadcast video, high-speed Internet, and VoIP. The latest addition to the PLEXiS line is the BXE BXE Bombardment-Induced X-Ray Emission CPI device for long-reach optical local connection supporting business services. --An enhanced DV6000(R) digital video system with the introduction of transport modules and an integrated transport management system. The new HDSDI/SDI/DVB-ASI Transport and Tributary Modules expand the DV's capability to include uncompressed high definition video transport and single channel SDI (1) (Serial Digital Interface) A physical interface widely used for transmitting digital video in various formats. For electrical transmission, it uses a high grade of coaxial cable and a single BNC connector with Teflon insulation. tributary transport. These modules create both a cost effective solution for new channel rollouts and a simplified method for migrating existing analog video circuits into digital video circuits. In addition, the DV Information & Monitoring Interface System (IMI-9000) that provides a common, standards-based element management interface for the entire DV product line now offers integrated transport management capabilities for both the PLEXiS and MPS off the same platform. --The nABLE(TM) On Demand Management System that gives operators the flexibility to manage any kind of content -- FVOD FVOD Free Video on Demand FVOD Fixed Video on Demand , SVOD SVOD Subscription Video on Demand SVOD Stacked Volumetric Optical Disk SVOD Subscription Voice on Demand , VOD, HD VOD, nPVR, ad insertion, and other on demand services -- from a single platform. nABLE reduces manual intervention, simplifies operations, and lowers costs because one process manages VOD at corporate, regional, and local levels, in real time and across different VOD delivery systems. About C-COR C-COR offers world-class, market-focused business solutions for cable operators, telephone companies, broadcasters, and other private and public sector entities. The Company's solutions simplify the transition to IP demand-oriented networks by delivering interoperable, modular products in sync with IP network upgrade cycles.

Each group has offerings that can work either as stand-alone solutions or with each other as integrated, cross-functional solutions to meet the specific and often unique needs of network operators. Eight key solutions are brought together by these business units: --Delivery of commercial services. --Digital ad/program insertion. --Management and delivery of VOD. --Management and delivery of VoIP. --Management and delivery of high-speed data. --Network capacity expansion. --Back office management automation for workforce management, network assurance, and subscriber fulfillment. --Design & planning, integration services, and outside plant services. Leading network operators through the transition to the on demand IP era, C-COR leverages its dedicated global workforce to deliver solutions for lowering risk, improving profit margins, and effectively managing change. CED Magazine recently named C-COR to its annual "Broadband 50 Companies to Watch." In its February 2005 Research Study, "Telco TV Infrastructure & Service Integrator Opportunities," ABI Abi (ā`bī) [short for Abijah], in the Bible, King Hezekiah's mother. (Application Binary Interface) A specification for a specific hardware platform combined with the operating system. Research ranked C-COR as the #2 provider of VOD servers in the world based on the criteria of innovation and implementation. C-COR's VOD server offerings were acquired with the purchase of nCUBE in 2004. C-COR's common stock is listed on the Nasdaq National Market (Symbol:CCBL) and is a component of the Russell 2000 Stock Index. For additional information regarding C-COR, visit www.c-cor.com. |
