Also from the meeting: The number of deployed proprietary modems is ~530K. That's over half a million. As Pat mentioned, 982 ComCONTROLLERS have been shipped and installed. That's approximately 544 modems per headend. Given that the system will handle up to 2000 modems, but more typically 1000-1500, there's a large potential cable modem sales growth (in my opinion) as these system fill out with customers. Their DOCSIS CMTS will be going into CableLabs this summer to begin the qualification process. Note that it is likely to take more than one round to get qualified. They demonstrated their Voice over ATM product in the meeting room. They had a PC connected to a cable modem which was attached to their wireless test network. Plugged into the back of the cable modem was a normal everyday phone. The performance was excellent and toll quality all the way. I was quite pleased. Also, the PC was surfing the web just fine with no interference with the phone. Note that the communications was flowing between Com21 and a mountain top roughly five miles away, then back into the data and phone networks! Mark
