Question:..S-CDMA are cable modems..can S-CDMA be used for DSL modems? Confused on this since I am technically challenged. Was this posted here by chance? if not, latest PR from TERN. Bashers left awhile ago. Funny there was no followup by the ususal suspects which indicates to me the report was false as Anthony Pacific stated it was on the Donations board. Terayon's CherryPicker Digital Video Management System Enables Efficient Delivery of Digital Video via DSL Atlanta, Georgia ? June 6, 2000 ? At the annual SuperComm tradeshow, Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: TERN) today announced that its CherryPicker? digital video management system can now enable the delivery of digital video over telephone networks via Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology. This will allow carriers to add to their growing list of subscriber services by overcoming the previous bandwidth limitations of the "last mile" which made delivering video to the home impractical. Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) and Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs) have successfully leveraged DSL to aggressively roll out high-speed Internet access and other data services to complement their traditional voice services. As a natural extension, telcos are eager to deliver digital video to their customers. Deployments so far have been limited due to bandwidth limitations and the ability to cost effectively prepare digital video programming from a variety of sources for re-transmission into the home. The hurdles have now been overcome. CherryPicker allows carriers to deploy revenue-generating video services with a five-to-one cost savings over less sophisticated systems. CherryPicker can enable the delivery of multiple digital video channels over a single xDSL line simultaneously, giving customers choice and control over what they view from their TV or PC. "With CherryPicker, carriers can now venture into the next realm of the broadband revolution ? delivering video over their networks," said Stephen King, vice president and general manager of Terayon's digital video systems. "Delivery of video via DSL is a major growth opportunity for carriers worldwide." Terayon's CherryPicker works entirely in the compressed digital domain, which maximizes bandwidth utilization and ensures the highest levels of video quality. The system can efficiently pick out a desired digital video program from a compressed and multiplexed multiple program transport stream (MPTS) to deliver a number of different video programs to the intended re-transmission receiving site. CherryPicker then allows the carrier to specify the appropriate bit rate for re-transmission of the selected program. This ensures the video is delivered to the subscriber with the highest possible quality, while maximizing the available DSL bandwidth. Further, the transmission parameters allow the telco to conserve additional bandwidth for delivering other services including web pages, fax, data, Internet, targeted ads, email and other basic telephony services. About the CherryPicker digital video management system Terayon's CherryPicker line of digital video management systems give cable, satellite and telco network operators unprecedented choice, control and flexibility in managing their digital video content. Operators can create custom channel line-ups by "cherry picking" from a variety of content sources ? such as satellite broadcast and local servers ? to better serve their subscribers. In addition, CherryPicker can support most digital video applications, such as Video-on-Demand and seamlessly inserting digital commercials into digital programming.
