Cable companies are leading an industry movement by offering a bundle of services,
including local and long distance voice communications, broadcast and video on demand
entertainment, high-speed Internet access and wireless/mobility services, to consumers and
businesses. To expand their service offerings, drive revenues and improve capital and
operational expense efficiencies, cable operators are actively migrating to Cisco-based
converged IP network infrastructures.
The Cisco IP-NGN architecture enables cable operators to create additional consumer
value and an enhanced competitive position by increasing innovation, enabling feature
integration, and accelerating time to market of its service offerings. In addition, with a Cisco
IP NGN, cable operators can rapidly scale their offerings and deliver a compelling end user
experience. The standards-based Cisco IP-NGN architecture meets the capacity needs of
video-on-demand and availability requirements of new communications services, while
delivering significant fiber, capital and operational efficiencies.
In recent weeks, Cisco has issued several important announcements of new customer
wins, technology trials and expanded service offerings based on its cable IP NGN solutions.
Customers are taking advantage of the Cisco IP NGN architecture based on three layers
of convergence which are well established in service provider networks today:
•
Network convergence: allows operators to eliminate multiple layers or parallel
networks and offer multiple services over a single network, helping to improve
providers' fiber, capital and operational efficiencies.
•
Service convergence: Establishes network intelligence and permits service
continuity and common features across multiple forms of network access. Such
service continuity can be a major differentiator in the market and can attract new
customers and reduce customer churn.
•
Application convergence: Supports the integration of applications based on an
open systems architecture, allowing cable operators to combine many different
services over the same connection for delivery to a variety of end devices.
Cisco is making advancements in each of each of these areas, specifically within
multiservice digital cable networks.
Network Convergence
Broadband cable operators are deploying, managing and maintaining a single
multiservice digital cable network based on IP technologies. Cisco is providing industryleading, innovative technology to drive network convergence and help customers significantly
reduce infrastructure costs. Recent examples of Cisco's efforts are:
•
Comcast selected Cisco 7600 Series Routers and optical Ethernet technologies to
help build its IP NGN designed to support and accelerate the delivery of highspeed Internet, standard and high definition digital broadcast, on-demand video
programming and voice services.
•
Cisco's flexible networking solutions are helping us to optimize our capital and
operational expenditures, and are providing the foundation for our future
integrated services strategy," said Ray Celona, Comcast's senior vice president of
National IP Engineering Operations.
•
Cisco Systems and Himawari Network, Inc. recently announced they have begun
trials of Wideband Protocol for DOCSISTM, a new technology able to deliver up
to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) broadband speeds to consumers and businesses
over existing hybrid fiber coax (HFC) networks.
•
ONO, a leading cable operator based in Madrid, Spain, recently announced that
it is delivering broadcast-quality television content using a next-generation
digital video transport network based on Cisco technology. ONO has selected
Cisco to deploy a Service Control solution, which will allow ONO to offer
personalized broadband services and differentiate against the competition. ONO
offers telephony, television and Internet services to customers -- in 22 regions
across
Spain.

Service Convergence
Cable operators are migrating toward or delivering "triple play on the move" which
combines voice, video, data and mobility services. To achieve true service convergence, these
operators must deliver common features across multiple services and provision and manage a
service over a range of access mediums. The following activities and announcements from
Cisco underscore the company's move to accelerate service convergence and integrate further
intelligence within the network:
Charter Communications has deployed Cisco's cable network infrastructure to handle
the rapid growth of its broadband customer base. Charter required a platform that would
enable a high level of reliability, while minimizing capital expenditures and operating
expense.
•
As a Cisco Powered Network partner, Charter Business has based its multi-services
strategy on a Cisco IP NGN that provides a service-rich, cost-effective network
infrastructure to help us grow our commercial service offerings and meet our
overall business objectives," said Steve Santamaria, vice president of Charter
Business. "While Charter Business has seen strong demand for its services,
particularly data services, where we saw 46 percent revenue growth last year, we
continue to focus on penetrating the market further with differentiated IP-based
data, voice and video services for business customers. Our relationship with
Cisco as a technology supplier as well as a selling partner will help us expand
our service offerings and grow our revenues, while keeping network operational
costs low."
•
Comcast has selected Cisco as a technology provider for the rollout of its
Comcast Digital Voice service. Comcast will be using the Cisco BTS 10200
Softswitch platform in selected markets and also plans to take advantage of
Cisco's Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) capabilities to enable advanced real-time
communications features.
•
Cogeco Cable recently announced that Cisco has been selected as a strategic
supplier to provide IP network technology in support of delivery of its residential
digital phone service, which will launch later in 2005. Cogeco's residential voice
service will be based on network technology provided by Cisco Systems®
including IP softswitches and voice gateways. For more on this announcement

"There is strong alignment between Cisco's and Cogeco's vision to fully exploit the
power of Broadband Cable IP Next Generation Networks to provide a range of advanced
telecommunications services to our customers," said Francois Audet, director of
telecommunications at Cogeco Cable. "Because the Cisco platform supports two major
standards, SIP and PacketCable, we are extremely well positioned to leverage this exceptional
capability by offering a full suite of integrated, value-added services to targeted markets in the
near future."
Application Convergence
Home networking has become more than sharing an Internet connection among PCs. IPbased applications such as voice communications, entertainment and security services are
fueling the growth for home networking products while increasing the value and appeal for
service providers. Linksys, a division of Cisco Systems, gives cable operators an opportunity
to extend its reach into the consumer's Connected Home. The following are ways Cisco and
Linksys are enabling operators around the globe to deliver innovative new service offerings
that extend the broadband network into the home:
Comcast deploys Linksys residential gateways operating in CableHome® mode, which
enables the cable service provider to offer its subscribers' networked services through a
Comcast-managed home networking device. As a result, customers can simply focus on
enjoying the experience. Comcast can update the gateway with new services and features or
perform remote troubleshooting to give customers a more robust and worry-free way to access
and share their broadband experience.
Linksys provides a portfolio of hardware solutions to support the delivery of IP services
around the home or office.
Linksys is an active member of CableHome®, a CableLabs-managed initiative which
develops the interface specifications necessary to extend high-quality cable-based services to
network devices within the home.
"Cisco is committed to helping cable companies succeed by accelerating their transition
to IP NGNs capable of delivering services that consumers and businesses demand, and
helping cable operators accelerate service delivery and time to revenue while reducing
operational costs," said Jeff Spagnola, vice president, service provider marketing segment, at
Cisco Systems. "To help operators realize their IP NGN visions, Cisco continues to invest in
cable technology and system development, system testing, and implementation services."
