C-COR Continues to Lead Industry with 1GHz Transmitter Deployment Milestone; CHP 1GHz Forward Path Transmitters Serving Five Million Homes.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- C-COR Incorporated (NASDAQ:CCBL), the cable industry's leading supplier of 1GHz access equipment, today announced that it has delivered more than 10,000 of its 1GHz Forward Path optical transmitters, passing 5 million homes throughout North America. The models were launched less than a year and a half ago by C-COR, who continues to lead the market in 1GHz technology. As part of C-COR's CHP Headend Platform, the forward path transmitters enable cable operators to support rapidly growing residential and business services by increasing bandwidth capacity on existing infrastructure. C-COR recently announced that the company's Opti Max4100 1GHz product, the industry's first fully-segmentable node, now passes more than 1 million homes. 1GHz access equipment is part of the C-COR suite of bandwidth utilization enhancements which also include switched digital video, OSS network management and Policy Service Manager products.

C-COR's CHP Max5000(TM) 1GHz Forward Path Transmitters are the industry's first transmitters to be ITU (International Telecom Union) G.695 compliant for Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) spacing and the first to incorporate a variable output feature. The product series is available in fixed and variable output versions and in 1310nm and CWDM wavelengths. It is optimally suited for cable operators seeking to enhance capacity on existing fiber-scarce HFC plant using a multi-wavelength network solution.

"The growing demand for HFC network capacity for HD, VoIP, and other new residential services means network architectures are evolving toward smaller service groups with 1GHz of bandwidth that will provide capacity well into the future. This requires a space-efficient, proven, and rapidly deployable platform to increase existing network capacity," said Bill Dawson, vice president, Access Strategy, C-COR. "C-COR is focused on delivering next-generation network solutions, such as 1GHz network equipment, that increase capacity and efficiently manage services on the operator's existing infrastructure."

The CHP Max5000 1GHz Forward Path Transmitters enable cable operators to support residential and business services while leveraging existing network infrastructure. The CWDM models provide capability to multiplex two forward wavelengths on a single fiber. Product features include:

--Variable optical output power range for spare inventory reduction and the flexibility to adjust for unexpected link loss during system implementation;

--Industry's first ITU G.695 standards compliant CWDM wavelength;

--Superior performance to support new revenue generating services;

--Space-efficient, high-density two-rack unit footprint; and

--Simplified installation and downloadable firmware upgrades.

C-COR's line of integrated 1GHz access products includes segmentable nodes, forward transmitters, and amplifiers. C-COR's HFC equipment products have an installed base of more than 3.5 billion dollars and are deployed with leading operators around the world including Bright House, Cablevision, Charter, Comcast, Cox, Mediacom, Insight, Time Warner Cable, UPC, ONO, and ntl.
