End-to-end solution across wireline broadband, wireless
broadband, IP video delivery and home networking addresses consumer demand for
seamless entertainment experiences
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – 20 March 2006 – Driving more personalized communications
experiences for consumers, Motorola (NYSE: MOT) today unveiled converged
technology solutions at TelecomNEXT that are able to seamlessly deliver data
rich services, such as high-definition video, on-demand services, and unified
cellular-landline voice communications. The wireline and wireless technology
demonstrations—including complete Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) and IP
video over Wireless Broadband Solutions—showcase Motorola’s ability to deliver
ultra-broadband capacity to more people in more places.
These developments are evidence of Motorola’s commitment to aggressively pursue
the multi-billion dollar IP solutions market with a full range of
ultra-broadband next-generation technologies designed to empower an ever-eager
consumer population with bandwidth intensive, peer-to-peer, broadcast, and
everything-on-demand entertainment services.
“The IP video market will yield explosive growth as consumers move digital
content not only in the home but to multiple devices,” said Matt Davis,
director, consumer multiplay services, IDC. “Ultra broadband (UBB) solutions
can provide the answer in helping providers go beyond the 20 megabits of
broadband capacity that is being allocated today for most homes to supplying
the 50+ megabit capacity necessary for emerging lifestyle innovations.”
Motorola is helping wireline service providers cost-effectively close the gap
on the bandwidth requirements they need today and into the future with a
portfolio of end-to-end broadband and ultra-broadband (UBB) solutions. The
benefits of using Motorola wireline and wireless solutions are on display at
the Motorola booth #1227 and the Motorola Lounge booth #2604 at TelecomNEXT in
Las Vegas, March 21-22, 2006.
Motorola will share its strategy for IP Video Services over WiMAX, along with
solution demonstrations to include symmetrical service delivery over GPON, IP
video over MOTOwi4™ Canopy® Access Point, and IP-based set-tops that
support a wide range of advanced entertainment features, including
high-definition TV (HDTV), video-on-demand (VOD), digital video recording
(DVR), single- and multi-stream whole-home video, and advanced IPTV services.
The set-top platform supports the MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Coding), VC1, and
MPEG-2 video coders.
In addition to demonstrating viable solutions for UBB on multiple network
types, Motorola is sharing its leadership in driving the convergence necessary
for digital lifestyles through multiple panels at TelecomNEXT including:
