ATLANTA — Scientific Atlanta announced Monday that commitments for its Switched Digital Video (SDV) platform in the United States have exceeded 7 million homes passed.
The company said the milestone demonstates its SDV architecture is open and confidently accepted by the industry.
The announcement follows Scientific Atlanta’s introduction earlier this year of the Universal Session and Resource Manager, which is a software upgrade to existing SDV servers in any network system. It allows operators to maximize their network investment by sharing quadrature amplitude modulators (QAMs) across both video-on-demand (VoD) and switched digital video traffic.
“Scientific Atlanta’s SDV solution provides our customers with increased service velocity, which is a top priority for them today,” said Scientific Atlanta vice-president of business development Greg Hardy.
The SDV platform is currently not available in Canada, but is expected to be in the future.
Scientific Atlanta, a Cisco company, is a supplier of digital-content contribution and distribution systems, transmission networks for broadband access to the home, digital interactive set-tops and subscriber systems designed for video, high-speed Internet and voice-over-IP (VoIP) networks.
