Congrats, nice work. Here's a cable modem chip from Stanford Telecom, so we can watch and send digital video over cable................ Stanford Telecom Demonstrates Subscriber Cable Modem Chip and Headend Burst Receiver at Western Cable Show SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 1997--Stanford Telecom(TM) will demonstrate its single-chip STEL-2176 cable modem solution at the Western Cable Show in Anaheim, December 10 through December 12. The integrated modulator/demodulator ASIC will be demonstrated along with Stanford Telecom's STEL-9257 burst receiver assembly for digital headend CATV equipment. Together these two units provide a complete end-to-end physical layer solution for interactive digital communications in hybrid fiber coax (HFC) systems, between the subscriber modem and the cable operator's headend. The STEL-2176 combines the upstream QPSK or 16 QAM modulator and the downstream 64/256 QAM receive functions. On-chip analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters are included in addition to mode selectable Annex A or Annex B FEC functions. The STEL-2176 utilizes advanced signal processing techniques which are covered by U.S. Patent No. 5,412,352. The STEL-9257 offers a ready-made solution to the difficult technical challenge of upstream demodulation which enables information transmitted by subscribers to be received by the headend equipment. Both the STEL-2176 and STEL-9257 are compatible with the MCNS-DOCSIS specification, and are therefore interoperable with other cable modems and any vendors' headend equipment that operates within the MCNS specification. In addition, both units are user programmable for compatibility with other HFC industry standards, such as IEEE 802.14, DAVIC, and DVD. The STEL-2176 and STEL-9257 can be viewed at Stanford Telecom's booth No. 4282. They will also be part of the CableNET(TM) '97 multi-vendor technology demonstration at the Western Cable Show. Prototype samples of STEL-2176 are targeted to be available in January 1998, with production quantities available in the second quarter of 1998. Pricing is approximately $30 in volume quantities. The STEL-9257 is available now at approximately $450 in quantities of 5,000.
