C-COR Brings the Consumer Experience Home at NCTA.STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- New Booth Will Showcase an Integrated Active Demonstration of C-COR's End-to-End Capabilities that Simplify the Operator's Transition To Consumer Empowered, On Demand IP Networks Following a year of multiple acquisitions, 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 ) heads into the NCTA NCTA National Cable & Telecommunications Association (fka National Cable Television Association) NCTA National Cable Television Association (now the National Cable & Telecommunications Association) 2005 National Show (April 3-5, 2005, Moscone Center The Moscone Center is San Francisco, California's largest convention and exhibition complex. The complex consists of two main underground halls underneath Yerba Buena Gardens, Moscone North and Moscone South, as well the three-level Moscone West exhibition hall across 4th Street. , San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden ) with a new booth, an updated brand, and an expanded portfolio of interoperable access and transport products, software solutions, and network services, all designed to simplify and facilitate the transition to and management of next-generation on demand IP networks. C-COR's new circular booth (#6454, North Hall D) has been specifically designed to lead NCTA attendees through a unique experience in integrated demonstrations, actively connecting all segments of the network from initial transport of voice, video, and data to the consumer experience in the home or business. Moving through a logical sequence of demonstration stations, the booth visitor will visually experience the delivery and management of VOD See video-on-demand. VoD - video on demand and VoIP, commercial ad insertion, business service data, and more over the latest access, transport and on demand server technology and operations support systems Operations Support Systems (also called Operational Support Systems or OSS) are computer systems used by telecommunications service providers. The term OSS most frequently describes "network systems" dealing with the telecom network itself, supporting processes such , as these service applications make their way from point of origin to the consumer. Supplementing the demonstration tour, C-COR will also feature a live theater presentation in its booth to showcase the Company's integrated open-architecture for cable operators seeking to reduce risks, manage change, and increase profit margins on existing HFC networks while transitioning to digital IP transport. C-COR's core set of hardware, software, and services featured at NCTA are organized under three synergistic, performance-driven business units -- C-COR Access and Transport, C-COR Solutions, and C-COR Network Services -- with one mission: to be a trusted partner in helping C-COR's customers, the network operators, to implement unified solutions that put subscribers in personal control of their entertainment, information, and communications. 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 C-COR solutions will be brought together by these business units and shown at the NCTA Show: --Delivery of commercial services (C-COR Access and Transport). --Digital Ad/Program Insertion (C-COR Solutions). --Management and delivery of VOD (C-COR Solutions). --Management and delivery of VoIP (C-COR Solutions and C-COR Access and Transport). --Management and delivery of High-Speed Data (C-COR Solutions and C-COR Access and Transport). --Bandwidth Expansion (C-COR Access and Transport). --Back Office Management Automation for workforce management Workforce Management (WFM) encompasses all the responsibilities for maintaining a productive and happy workforce. Sometimes referred to as HRMS systems, or even the larger ERP systems (Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP). There are many software vendors within this space. , network assurance, and subscriber fulfillment (C-COR Solutions). --Design & Planning, Integration Services, and Outside Plant Services (C-COR Network Services). About C-COR Access and Transport C-COR Access and Transport provides network infrastructure technology and solutions to meet the demands of current and next-generation video, voice, and high-speed data applications over advanced broadband networks You can assist by [ editing it] now. . Its cost efficient access portfolio includes flexible, scalable, and reliable headend/hub platforms, optical nodes, and RF amplifiers as well as a fiber-to-the-premise solution for network access over the last mile. System bandwidths for access offerings range up to 1 GHz and are available in configurations that serve global markets. C-COR's transport portfolio includes its DV6000(TM) digital video system as well as its next-generation transport platforms, the MPS (Multi-Service Packet Switch) and the PLEXiS(TM). The PLEXiS platform combines Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. 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 for true server to hub transport of advanced services in support of VOD, VoIP, and high-speed business access. As such, it enables the network operator to build high-capacity fiber-optic networks capable of simultaneously transmitting voice, video, and data traffic in native formats on one optical wavelength over long distances. The MPS is a packet-based transport solution that incorporates 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.
