China Taps Dagaz Technologies For Broadband Network 03/20/97
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BRIDGEWATER, NEW JERSEY, U.S.A., 1997 MAR 20 (NB) -- By Bill Pietrucha. The Chinese soon should have video-on-demand, through a contract between the People's Republic of China and Dagaz Technologies Inc., a division of Integrated Network Corp. (INC). According to the company, Dagaz is the first American entity selected in building China's broadband network.
The contract calls for the deployment of the company's Odin 3000 Multimedia Access Systems to provide video-on-demand and other high-speed communications services to over 600 subscribers in the cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Phase I of the project, valued at $4 million, calls for the deployment of 10 Odin Systems beginning this June. Phase II calls for deployment at two additional housing projects, with an additional 4,500 customers in two cities, which will later be expanded to nine cities, INC chairman and chief executive officer (CEO), Dr. Yo-Sung Cho, said.
According to Cho, the Odin 3000 products "enable network providers to scale from small single service systems to large full service networks capable of offering a variety of broadband services."
The Odin 3000 connects subscribers using existing copper telephone wire to high bandwidth fiber optic cable for the delivery of a full compliment of multimedia applications like digital CATV, Internet access, and interactive video via telephone networks through appropriate customer premise equipment.
At the contract signing yesterday at the company's headquarters in Bridgewater, Director General Cui Xun of Guandong Province Posts & Telecommunications Administration (GPTA) said that the system "will break down the barriers created by distance and facilitate the deployment of next-generation technologies throughout China."
Cho said that GPTA selected Dagaz based on its Asian track record, including the deployment of Odin 3000 products for Korea Telecom's Video Dialtone Network (VDT). The Korean VDT network supports the first commercial video on demand service in Asia, Cho said.
