C-COR Paves IP Solutions Roadmap with Next Generation Product Integrations; Company's Product Integration Showcase Demonstrates Advanced On Demand Capabilities Built with Today's Tools and Applications.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, will feature innovative ways to manage the next generation of dynamic IP networks in an integrated product showcase to cable operators this month and again at the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE SCTE Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers SCTE Society of Cable Television Engineers SCTE Serial Clock Transmit External ) Conference on Emerging Technologies next month in Florida. The showcase will provide operators with a view of C-COR's unique capabilities for delivering advanced on demand applications using the same tools and products commonly found in today's cable system. "Cable operators are being asked to offer and support an increasing set of applications and services based on the possibilities of an all IP World using today's plant," said Joe Matarese, chief technology officer, C-COR Solutions. "At C-COR we are uniquely positioned to look deeper into the opportunities for integration because we have built and offer many of the underlying components. Our visibility into these long-term road maps ensures that these new solutions are born out of the integrations that have been field tested and are highly reliable." C-COR will preview six product line integrations that will feature the potential of an interoperable, next generation IP environment. Demonstrations will include video over IP, dynamic advertising insertion, service assurance for video delivery, mobile workforce service assurance for expedited field services, and complete and robust delivery of IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. services and tiered and metered data services. Integrated Product Showcase Video over IP: Integration of C-COR's On Demand nABLE(TM) back office and content management software and Policy Service Manager (PSM PSM PlayStation Magazine PSM Process Safety Management (chemical industry) PSM Porsche Stability Management PSM Platform-Specific Model(s) PSM Platform Support Module PSM Professional Science Master's ) provides end-to-end video over DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) A cable modem standard from the CableLabs research consortium (www.cablelabs.com), which provides equipment certification for interoperability. (R) with guaranteed quality of service (QoS) protection. The "All-IP" On Demand system protects QoS by working with the PSM to ensure QoS resources are appropriated. Video over IP speeds the delivery of new video services to market and allows all services - voice, video and data - to be delivered over IP for easier service activation, provisioning, assurance, and integration. Dynamic Ad Insertion: Integration of C-COR's advertising insertion and On Demand systems powers advertising insertion in both On Demand and linear Digital Program Insertion Digital Program Insertion (DPI) allows cable headends and broadcast affiliates to insert locally-generated commercials and short programs into remotely distributed regional programs before they are delivered to home viewers. (DPI (Dots Per Inch) The measurement of the resolution of display and printing systems. A typical CRT screen provides 96 dpi, which provides 9,216 dots per square inch (96x96). Flat panel displays from 110 to 200 dpi have also been developed. ) environments. On Demand and linear advertising today are delivered via separate platforms. In this application, however, C-COR demonstrates the capability of its video server platform to support both VOD See video-on-demand. VoD - video on demand and DPI from the same platform. This unique application requires less server equipment and storage, while increasing the flexibility to address ads to subscribers. Video Assurance: C-COR will demonstrate the ability to monitor video services delivered to a Motorola set-top box The cable TV box that sits on "top" of the TV "set," although it is often located several feet away in an equipment rack. The set-top box descrambles the premium channels and provides a tuner for the higher cable numbers that very old TVs did not support. by using C-COR's Network Service Manager (NSM (Network and System Management) Running and controlling the networks and computer systems in an enterprise. See network management. (TM)). NSM assists operators in distinguishing between plant and service level problems. NSM actively monitors video service levels and immediately notifies the network operation center of service events, preventing network outages and service degradations in both Motorola and Scientific-Atlanta infrastructures. Field Services: Integration of C-COR's MWM MWM, n See mobilization with movement. (TM) (Mobile Workforce Manager) and NSM enables operators to proactively identify, prioritize, and distribute resources for service problems. In this demonstration, C-COR's NSM exports event information automatically to MWM, allowing operators to allocate and prioritize their mobile workforce distribution by projected revenue impact. IP Telephony and Managed Data Services: C-COR provides a comprehensive solution for delivering IP telephony and tiered "pay to play" data services. A demonstration of this solution will highlight how voice services can be planned, activated, provisioned, secured, and assured with the integration of C-COR's CableEdge(R) and Voice Assure(TM), Service Activation Manager, Key Distribution Center, and Policy Service Manager products. It will focus on how Policy Service Manager and CableEdge functionalities can be used to tier services for pay to play bandwidth allocation Bandwidth allocation refers to various methods used in the communications industry to design and assign frequency channels to different wireless applications. Also on programs such as Bittorent or Limewire. . This integration provides operators with one integrated platform that prepares for and delivers IP telephony and tiered services.
