A new technology from Texas Instruments dramatically cuts the cost and complexity of bringing the high-speed datarates of optical networking to end users.
More than five million Terayon cable modems have been deployed by cable operators worldwide, including such major operators as Comcast in the USA, UPC in Europe and J-Com in Japan.
The company is ranked as the third leading provider of cable modems and embedded multimedia terminal adapters (eMTA) worldwide in 2004 according to the broadband industry research firm Kinetic Strategies.
"Cable modems and other home access solutions are a substantial and important part of our business and basing our new cable modems, eMTAs and other CPE on proven TI silicon enables us to focus on our strengths - adding new, innovative features, instead of further developing our own modem silicon", said Joseph Benigno, Vice President and General Manager, Home Access Solutions, Terayon.
"After evaluating silicon providers, we chose TI because of its technology leadership in voice silicon, field-proven DOCSIS software and hardware and its compelling roadmap, including the Puma IV architecture".
Terayon products based on TI's silicon and software solutions include the TJ700 data modem, which uses TI's cost-effective DOCSIS 1.1 and 2.0 compliant silicon and software, and the TJ900 family of eMTAs, featuring TI' s voice silicon and software.
"Terayon - a recognised market leader in video and data solutions - has established itself as a valued equipment provider to multiple service operators (MSOs) worldwide, and its selection of TI to provide voice and data cable modem silicon and software speaks volumes about the proven reliability of our technology", said Dennis Rauschmayer, Director of Marketing for TI's Cable Business Unit.
"TI continues to enjoy widespread adoption of our voice-over-cable technology, and with two million voice lines already shipped, we look forward to building on this momentum".
