9 Bigband Broadband Edge QAM (BEQ) BigBand Broadband Edge QAM (BEQ). Our Broadband Edge QAM platforms are used to convert digital video and data streams into quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) RF streams that transport video and data across cable networks to subscriber set top boxes and cable modems. The services that are transported can include Switched Digital Video, Video on Demand, Broadcast Video and DOCSIS High Speed Data. Our QAM platforms are modular and employ digital signal processors, FPGAs and our own proprietary RF technology and algorithms. They are noted for their high signal quality and thermal efficiency. BigBand Media Services Platform (MSP1200, 2000, 2800). Our Media Services Platform is designed to manage large numbers of IP video streams combined with rich media processing to enable a range of personalized video applications such as linear, zoned, and addressable advertising. Our MSP chassis-based platforms are designed to provide carrier-class reliability, scale and flexibility, including the ability to grow subscriber services and new applications over time with the addition of new hardware line cards. The BigBand MSP platforms are based on industry standards, open interfaces and established network protocols to simplify the platform integration into existing service provider networks. In October 2010, we announced our new applications for the MSP platform within the cable market. The MSP-based QAM is the industry leading platform designed to enable service providers to cost-effectively scale and optimize the edge with dynamic bandwidth agility on the entire 50MHz to 1GHz RF spectrum. Converged Video Exchange (CVEx). Our CVEx platform is a control plane solution designed to manage large numbers of video sessions while optimizing network bandwidth utilization. The CVEx platform is a fundamental component of our Switched Digital Video deployments and offers Edge Resource Manager (ERM) functionality to share QAM capacity across different network services. In addition, CVEx serves as the control plane for our vIP PASS solution to deliver managed IP video services with high performance and cost effectively across video QAMs. Customers We sell our products to cable MSOs and telecommunications companies worldwide, both directly and through resellers. In the U.S., our products are deployed by seven of the ten largest service providers. Our significant customers for 2010 were as follows: Bright House Networks Comcast Sugys Cable ONE Cox Communications Time Warner Cable Charter Communications Ssangyong Verizon A substantial majority of our sales have been to a limited number of large customers. However, our large customers have changed over time. Sales to our five largest customers represented 74%, 78% and 81%, respectively, of our net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. In 2010, Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable and Verizon each represented 10% or more of our net revenues. In 2009, Charter Communications, Time Warner Cable and Verizon each represented 10% or more of our net revenues. In 2008, Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable and Verizon each represented 10% or more of our net revenues. Although we are attempting to broaden our customer base by penetrating new markets and expanding internationally, we expect that for the foreseeable future, a limited number of large customers will continue to comprise a large percentage of our revenues. International sales represented 9%, 11% and 9%, respectively, of our net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. 9 .

  • February 4, 2020 - Public Issue
    February 4, 2020 - Public Issue KEY DEVELOPMENTS ACA Connects Commends FCC On Adopting RDOF To Advance Rural Broadband Deployment In A Cost-Efficient Manner ACA Connects President and CEO Matthew M. Polka issued the following statement on Jan. 30 commending the Federal Communications Commission on adoption of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF): “Over the past decade, the FCC has made great progress in evolving its high-cost universal service programs so that existing providers are not overbuilt and funds are awarded more cost-effectively to providers offering higher- performance broadband service. Today’s adoption of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund by the FCC is a significant step in that evolution. “By adopting a challenge process to ensure eligible areas are unserved and by using the ‘budget clearing round’ approach to awarding funds in the auction, the FCC will further ensure that residents and businesses at millions of unserved locations receive broadband service that is reasonably comparable to the service urban consumers receive. ACA Connects commends the Chairman and Commissioners for adopting this sound and forward-looking approach and instituting the new program.” ACA Connects Applauds FCC For Allowing Cable Operators To Email Required Notices To TV Stations ACA Connects President and CEO Matthew M. Polka issued the following statement on Jan. 30 applauding the FCC for allowing cable operators to use email to transmit required notices to TV stations: “ACA Connects applauds the FCC for adopting a Report and Order that will allow cable operators to send required notices to broadcasters by email rather than certified mail. This transition to email delivery will reduce administrative burdens and environmental waste while ensuring that notices are still timely received.

  • K-12 Bridge to Broadband” Initiative to Help Connect Students to Broadband for Remote and Hybrid Learning
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 10, 2020 NCTA CONTACT: ESH CONTACT: Brian Dietz Victoria Holmes [email protected] [email protected] 202-258-2881 (mobile) 248-872-9099 (mobile) U.S. Cable Industry Announces New “K-12 Bridge to Broadband” Initiative to Help Connect Students to Broadband for Remote and Hybrid Learning In partnership with national non-profit EducationSuperHighway, NCTA members will launch programs that enable school districts to identify students without broadband and purchase service for low-income families Today, NCTA – the Internet & Television Association, a leading broadband technology trade association in partnership with EducationSuperHighway (ESH), a national non-profit that led the work to close the classroom connectivity gap— announced a new initiative to help increase home connectivity solutions for students, as many schools adapt to remote and hybrid learning classrooms amid the coronavirus pandemic. The K-12 Bridge to Broadband initiative will scale innovative solutions that are helping public school districts and states identify and potentially connect students in low-income families, enabling more students to participate in remote or hybrid learning. In announcing the K-12 Bridge to Broadband program, NCTA and ESH released a framework of core principles that will support the initiative from leading cable internet service providers for working with school districts or states to better identify unconnected, but serviceable, student households and to offer sponsored service arrangements that can potentially connect students in this school year. Since the pivot to remote learning began in the spring, many school districts have struggled to determine which families lack internet access at home. Building on the recent successful school district partnerships in Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Des Moines and several other cities, the new initiative will help school districts efficiently identify students without service at home.

  • Merger of AT&T Inc. and Centennial Communications Corp. Description
    FCC Form 603 Exhibit 1 Merger of AT&T Inc. and Centennial Communications Corp. Description of Transaction, Public Interest Showing and Related Demonstrations Filed with the Federal Communications Commission November 21, 2008 FCC Form 603 Exhibit 1 INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Commission should swiftly approve the transfer of control of the authorizations and spectrum leases held by Centennial Communications Corp. (“Centennial”) to AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”). This transaction will advance the public interest by enhancing telecommunications services in the rural areas and small cities that make up most of Centennial’s service area. These include parts of six states in the Midwest and South, plus the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Centennial provides wireless service, and Puerto Rico, where Centennial provides both wireless and wireline broadband service. By becoming a part of AT&T, Centennial will gain access to expertise and resources, which will allow it to serve these communities even better than it does now. The transaction also will enhance disaster preparedness and result in significant cost savings. These advances for consumers in rural areas and small cities and the other public interest benefits that will flow from this transaction can be achieved without raising any competitive concerns. The transaction will give Centennial’s wireless customers access to the full range of capabilities available on AT&T’s network, which covers more than 290 million people in 13,000 communities in the United States. Centennial’s wireless customers thus will enjoy: a wider variety of rate plans; a more robust set of data services; an expanded scope for mobile-to-mobile calling without using monthly minutes; rollover minutes; additional prepaid offerings; expanded choice of handsets with advanced services capabilities; an open applications policy; enhanced international roaming; opportunities to obtain discounts for wireless/wireline bundles; and, for customers with dual-mode phones, free access to Wi-Fi hotspots at more than 17,000 locations across the country.
