Unity Media Extends C-COR Deployment in Germany

2:08 am   -   September 29th, 2006

C-COR Incorporated (NASDAQ: CCBL) today announced that Unity Media, parent company of cable network operators ish and iesy, is expanding the deployment of C-COR’s CableEdge® solution into the Hessen region of Germany. Unity Media operates the largest interconnected cable network in Europe with more than 5.1 million households. CableEdge is an intelligent network management and planning software that collects and analyzes network traffic and performance data from cable modems, cable modem termination systems, and other DOCSIS®-compliant devices (such as HDTV and set-top boxes) to derive benchmarks for network service quality and provide expert recommendations to improve service levels.

With CableEdge, operators proactively address network issues before they impact the customer. The net effects are to reduce trouble calls and truck rolls and to optimize the use of internal operational resources. The information can also be used to add network capacity and plan for new service roll-outs. Today, more than 5,000 cable operator employees rely on C-COR’s CableEdge to leverage data from approximately 10 million DOCSIS devices throughout 12 countries.

Karl-Heinz Konne, Manager OSS/Network Documentation, Unity Media, stated, “What really impresses us about CableEdge is the platform monitoring technology that provides in-depth information on the customer experience. From a business and marketing point of view, the ability to collect data that directly correlates with customer satisfaction to such a granular degree is simply invaluable – especially in what is an increasingly competitive marketplace for us.”

“European cable operators, such as Unity Media, continue to look to C-COR for success-based spending that optimizes existing network capacity, improves customer service, and supports rapid service launches,” stated Rod Peery, VP of Sales/EMEA, C-COR. “With the CableEdge platform, operators finally have a comprehensive view of faults, congestion, security, availability, and overall performance, enabling them to quickly and proactively address or prevent slowdowns and outages, identify upgrade and reconfiguration requirements, and determine opportunities for new revenue-generating services.”

C-COR has been delivering reliable and trusted products to EMEA markets for nearly five decades, establishing a track record of technology innovations. C-COR is recognized as a pioneer in On Demand deployments in Europe ; as one of the first to implement policy server technology with a major European operator; and as the first in the cable industry to deploy an end-to-end 1GHz HFC access solution. C-COR’s HFC access products, with an installed base valued at over $3.5 billion, are deployed with customers such as Europe ’s ONO, NTL, and UPC. European operators are also tapping into C-COR’s integrated solutions across its On Demand and bandwidth and resource management systems that help harness revenue-generating applications such as IP telephony services, Quality of Service (QoS) management, tiered and metered data services, dynamic on demand advertising, video over IP, next-generation video provisioning, and automatic workforce dispatch. C-COR’s high regard as a technology leader is likewise reflected in its strong partnership relations that include Siemens, Sandvine, Arris, Bentley, SupportSoft, Ellacoya, and Sigma Systems.
