TORONTO – Aurora Networks’ Remote QAM module was named the Technology Most Likely to Succeed Tuesday at the SCTE Canadian Summit in Toronto.
The solution was one of five products and solutions demonstrated at the morning’s Technology Challenge which was emcee-d by Cartt.ca editor and publisher Greg O’Brien. The winner was selected by attendees using mobile text messaging to vote.
Aurora Networks demonstrated how the node-based Remote QAM module can deliver any mix of services – including broadcast, narrowcast, cable, IPTV and DOCSIS – in the same QAM channel, enabling operators to tailor services to local demands. This capability allows operators to customize service migration and growth to needs and specifications. Further, cable operators can utilize this flexibility while simultaneously reining in the complexity of their RF and optical infrastructure, controlling and reducing capital and operational expenses, managing the environmental footprint of their headends, and simplifying operations.
“This endorsement further reinforces Aurora Networks’ belief that the evolution of the node is essential to the future success of cable operators,” said marketing VP John Dahlquist, in the announcement. “The Remote QAM module is a natural extension of our product line – a unique next generation access solution that helps operators to achieve scalability and flexibility with lower overhead costs. Our continued focus on evolving the node will help ensure that Aurora Networks’ node platform remains cable’s silver bullet, supporting the migration to Digital HFC, and not a node-to-nowhere.”
The SCTE Canadian Summit continues Wednesday.
