BigBand Networks rolled a lucky seven in the world’s largest country, announcing customer wins in China for its video-processing and cable-modem equipment.
Six Chinese cable operators are deploying the company's Broadband Multimedia Services Router to process digital video, and one -- Xiamen CATV, in the southeastern China province of Fujian -- is using BigBand’s Cuda cable-modem-termination system.
"We've devoted considerable resources to develop technology that can help the Chinese cable industry migrate to digital video, and we're excited to see that technology receive such an enthusiastic reception among Chinese operators," BigBand vice president and business-unit leader for international cable video Ray Fitzgerald said.
BigBand -- which launched a successful initial public offering this month, raising about $91 million -- also said it opened its fourth office in China this month, a research-and-development facility in the city of Shenzhen in Guangdong province.
This week, the company announced that it shipped what it believes is the first standards-compliant modular-CMTS, to Dutch operator Multikabel. The Cuda M-CMTS supports the downstream-channel-bonding features of CableLabs’ Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification 3.0.
