C-COR Presenter Addresses the Impact of Resilient Packet Ring Technology on Next-Generation Networks At IBC 2004.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- The SCTE (Society of Cable and Telecommunications Engineers) has invited Leslie Rysdale, Advanced Systems Engineer for EuroPacific Business of C-COR Incorporated (Nasdaq:CCBL), to speak at its Benelux Lecture Meeting during the 2004 IBC (International Broadcasting Convention) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This year's Benelux lectures address the latest network technologies, particularly fiber and packet-based innovations, that will enable advanced services, such as digital television, Voice over IP, and Video-on-Demand. Mr. Rysdale's presentation, "The Application of RPR (Resilient Packet Ring) Technology," is scheduled on September 14, 2004, from 11:40 AM to 12:20 PM local time in Room A at the RAI Exhibition and Congress Centre.

RPR is an emerging network architecture and technology for connectivity of various computing, data, and telecommunications devices. An RPR network consists of a set of RPR switches connected together by two counter-rotating optical fiber rings. The ring functions as a shared transport medium with a unique protocol that controls access to the ring, arbitrates competing requests for use of ring bandwidth, and implements a service protection mechanism against ring failures. Service subscribers connect to the RPR network primarily through high-speed, relatively inexpensive Ethernet interfaces on the RPR switches. RPR 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 technology is also more efficient, less complex, and less costly than having data, voice, and video delivered over separate parallel networks. C-COR has an RPR market offering with its 10 Gig-E, bi-directional ring Metro Packet Switch (MSP) Platform.
