SFA News this afternoon, 3 releases: Scientific-Atlanta Announces Scaleable Fiber Optic Solution To Enable Up To 16 Times More Capacity For New Services PR Newswire, Thursday, December 03, 1998 at 14:59 -- New Prisma DWDM Transport System will enable cable operators to incrementally deploy more revenue-generating interactive services while lowering the cost of network upgrades -- ANAHEIM, Calif., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Western Cable Show today, Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. announced a new network technology that will allow operators to incrementally upgrade their capacity by as much as 16 times over a single fiber optic cable, which will enable them to offer more revenue- generating interactive services at a much lower cost than with traditional network architectures. The Prisma(TM) Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) transport system reduces the cost of deploying new services because the interactive technology is retained at the network's headend, instead of at numerous hub locations. This lowers equipment and maintenance costs, while still enabling the ability to target programming and services for a wide area from a single location. The Prisma DWDM Transport System is currently available for shipment. -- Scientific-Atlanta and WorldGate to demonstrate TV Internet access and e-mail services using Explorer set-tops at Western Cable Show, December 1-4, Anaheim -- ATLANTA, Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific-Atlanta and WorldGate Communications, Inc. today announced WorldGate's Internet TV Over Cable(sm) service will be available on Scientific-Atlanta's Explorer(R) 2000 digital interactive set-top.
