<<As I mentioned JDSU is main supplier to Harmonic (read on):>> With a little help from my friends, see post below. Regards Glenn Friday September 10, 3:02 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Teleglobe Selects Harmonic Data Systems' CyberStream for Its New DVB/IP Satellite Service Deployment Allows Teleglobe to Offer Fast Internet Access to Regions Currently Inaccessible to its Global Fiber Backbone Network AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 1999-- Harmonic Data Systems Ltd. (HDS), a subsidiary of Harmonic Inc. (Nasdaq:HLIT - news), has supplied Teleglobe Inc. (TSE:TGO - news; ME:TGO - news; NYSE:TGO - news) with its CyberStream(TM) system to deliver broadband DVB/IP (Digital Video Broadcast/Internet Protocol) satellite services to ISPs and business customers. The deployment of the CyberStream end-to-end system will allow Teleglobe to offer high-speed Internet access in regions of the world currently inaccessible to its global fiber backbone network. Teleglobe is installing CyberStream TRX100 data gateways at its uplink facilities, and CyberStream Enterprise1(TM) routers/receivers are being located at customer sites to allow DVB/IP content download at speeds of up to 48 Mbps. This content is delivered to ISPs and business customers using compact rooftop satellite antennae. The content is transmitted to these antennae over high-powered C and Ku band transponders on the Intelsat, NewSkies and Eutelsat satellite networks. Teleglobe, of Reston, Virginia, USA, has launched its DVB/IP service to allow ISPs or business customers to add to their existing Internet connection using a high-speed inbound satellite connection. This new service is the latest addition to Teleglobe's portfolio of Internet access products. ``Our DVB/IP satellite service delivers a cost-effective, flexible and scalable connectivity solution for Internet access. The service is designed to mirror the way in which the Internet works in that the size of data requests to the Internet backbone are, in most cases, much smaller than the size of the data returned in response to these requests,' commented Bob Collet, Teleglobe's vice president and general manager of Internet and Data Services. ``The CyberStream configuration is our preferred solution as it has been designed to support this inherent asymmetry. We also plan to use CyberStream's multicast capabilities to distribute newsfeed, streaming and caching traffic in a cost-effective way.' A key factor in choosing HDS's CyberStream system was its compliance with DVB/MPE, IP and MPEG-2 standards. The Harmonic Data Systems' solution was subjected to rigorous testing by Teleglobe prior to purchase. Teleglobe's decision was also influenced by the successful deployment of CyberStream systems worldwide for a variety of IP-over-satellite applications including CNN and PanAmSat in the US, ``Europe Online in the Sky', Infoline in South Africa and Tele-2 in Sweden. ``The evolution of the Internet sees an accelerating demand for high-speed delivery of broadband content, with CyberStream able to play its part as an integral component of fast data transmission over satellite, wireless and cable,' said David Price, Harmonic Data Systems' vice president of business development. ``The ability to match Teleglobe's service requirements with up to full transponder capability while supporting all necessary IP protocols, including IP Multicast, meant that CyberStream was a good fit for Teleglobe's needs.'

Yes Don that's me. If you want to see the story pictures and all go to the Ottawa Citizen web site and type in doyletech. However, below is the story. We expect to have a lot of fun. Regards Glenn P.S. Thanks for your kind words. I intend to do my best to add value to the SI threads I follow. Karyn Standen The Ottawa Citizen Technology guru and financier Denzil Doyle is handing over the reins of his business consulting firm to his son. Jeffrey Doyle, 32, and his business partner, Glenn McDougall, 44, will run Doyletech Corp., which the senior Mr. Doyle founded in 1982 to provide business planning services to public and private-sector enterprises. Noting he devotes most of his time to being chairman of Capital Alliance Ventures Inc., the venture-capital firm he started in 1994, he said: "I can't run (Doyletech) forever myself, and there's a lot more to be done" with the consulting company. Even so, he is not leaving Doyletech entirely. He will remain on a part-time basis to provide business management assistance to the new partners, and to continue using Doyletech as a vehicle for delivering his technology business seminars and workshops. Jeffrey Doyle, who holds a bachelor of commerce degree from Carleton University, intends to broaden Doyletech's scope to provide a range of economic development, business planning and market research services to eastern Ontario companies and municipalities. The company will target the technology industry, with a primary goal being to help outside companies and municipalities sell services and products to Ottawa's high-tech sector. "I'd like to see (the new partners) produce a product, a huge volume on how to sell to the high-tech industry, and out of that, clients will come," Denzil Doyle said. "The high-tech industry is taking off, and there's no market research company in Ottawa that can do what we want to do," said Jeffrey Doyle. Doyletech will also continue distributing Denzil Doyle's book, Making Technology Happen, and regularly update its detailed "family tree" of Ottawa technology companies. Jeffrey Doyle plans to concentrate on developing Doyletech's market and economic research services, while Mr. McDougall will provide financial management and sales expertise. Doyletech will be self-financing for the "foreseeable future," Jeffrey Doyle said, adding the partners have no immediate plans to raise outside capital.
