SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 11, 1998 --
-- Cogeco Cable Selects the Bay Networks' LANcity(tm)
Cable Modem Product Line, Further Underscoring its Market Leadership
in Broadband Technology --
Bay Networks,(R) Inc. (NYSE:BAY) today announced that its
Broadband Technology Division has shipped and installed more than
120,000 cable modems to business- and residential-users worldwide as
well as deploying headend equipment capable of providing cable modem
service to over 3 million homes. In addition, Bay Networks has signed
a contract with Cogeco Cable of Ontario, Canada, to provide LANcity
cable modems for use in all future WAVE internet access over cable
service installations. This milestone and customer win further
strengthens Bay Networks' dominant position as the world's leading
supplier of cable modems.
"By capitalizing on Bay Networks' extensive experience in
broadband technology, we are able to deploy proven and reliable cable
modems faster than the competition," said Karl May, vice president and
general manager of Broadband Technology Division of Bay Networks.
"Cogeco's investment in our technology is a strong endorsement of Bay
Networks' superior broadband products."
As the broadband market continues to grow at a rapid pace,
customers, such as Cogeco's clients, are using Bay Networks' cable
modems to receive and send information at the fastest rates possible.
The deployment figure and customer win underscores the strength of Bay
Networks' position in the broadband market as the company continues to
develop best-of-breed cable solutions and by partnering with leading
cable operators.
Bay Networks Reaches Important Milestone
With more than 120,000 cable modems deployed throughout the world
and over 3 million homes passed, Bay Networks is establishing a trend
that allows a growing number of companies and individuals to access
the internet more quickly, easily and securely than many of their
competitors' solutions. As MSOs begin to provide their customers with
new services such as Internet access, videoconferencing and
telecommuting applications, Bay Networks plays an important role as
the leading vendor to provide access solutions to this technology.
"Bay Networks has reached an important milestone," said Michael
W. Harris, president of Kinetic Strategies Inc., a leading broadband
Internet research firm. "The company is positioned to build on its
early success in the cable modem market and be among the first to
deliver an end-to-end solution that meets the MCNS DOCSIS standard."
Bay Networks offers MSOs a cable modem that has an open
scalable architecture ideal for small, medium and large networks. With
a maximum of 10Mbps, Bay Networks' cable modems allows customers to
work at a speed 1,000 times faster than conventional dial-up 28.8Kbps
or even faster than 56K technology, commonly used in networks today.
Cogeco Cable Selects Bay Networks
The flexibility of multi-tiered service available with LANcity
modems will enable Cogeco to provide a greater level of service and a
more diverse range of product offerings at various speeds. Other
features such as plug-and-play technology and built-in modem operation
checks simplify installation and reduce maintenance work and costs.
"For our business to be successful we require a superior cable
modem that can deliver Internet service with the speed, reliability
and ease of use that our WAVE customers demand," said Jeff Robertson,
vice-president, Internet & Network Services, Cogeco Cable. "By
deploying Bay Networks LCP (LANcity Personal) cable modems we are
confident that we will be using the quality modem we need to meet our
customers expectations."
By using a transmission protocol that allows for a more efficient
use of bandwidth, Bay's LANcity family of cable modems ensures access
to the network regardless of high traffic volumes.
