ahhaha, you gotta be joking with me. SFA and HLIT work on a lot of the same projects,like 21stcentury.com SFA and HLIT work together,they have done many,many demo's showing their interoperability. SFA is trying to ride the wake of HLIT. Another thing,smart money? Isn't that a classic oxymoronic phrase? Money and brains? ahhaha, I think you are trying to pull something,just hope its not a gerbal out of your ass,ahhaha. Harmonic Lightwaves Achieves First U.S. Cable TV Headend Interoperability With Multiple Vendors Set-Top Boxes Wednesday, December 2, 1998 08:33 AM Mail this article to a friend new! California Cable Television Assn.'s Western Show Booth No. 363 ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 2, 1998-- Harmonic Is at Forefront of Open Systems Movement in CATV Equipment In a U.S. cable television industry first here at the California Cable Television Association's Western Show, Harmonic Lightwaves, Inc. (Nasdaq:HLIT) is showing interoperability between an independently developed headend and set-top boxes from multiple vendors. The demonstration in Harmonic's booth (No. 363) shows Harmonic's TRANsend(TM) digital headend interoperating with set-tops from General Instrument, Nokia, Sagem and Scientific-Atlanta. The level of interoperability being demonstrated shows that cable operators can now assemble complete systems using individual components from multiple vendors, instead of having to use end-to-end systems from a single supplier. In a real-world example, Harmonic today announced that Videotron, Canada's second largest cable operator, is currently deploying TRANsend headends along with Explorer(R) 2000 set-tops from Scientific-Atlanta in its Quebec province network. "This demonstration, along with the emergence of OpenCable and other industry standards, shows the growing momentum for open solutions that allow operators to work with multiple vendors in assembling 'best of breed' systems," said Tony Ley, president, chairman and CEO of Harmonic Lightwaves. "Harmonic's support for open systems is a further example of our commitment to meeting our customers' needs." The Western Show demonstration has a TRANsend digital headend taking in multiple channels from a Headend-In-The-Sky (HITS) feed, adding in locally-originated digital and analog content, and then feeding the combined channel line-up to the set-top boxes. In addition to supporting both digital and analog video, this real-time demonstration shows TRANsend supporting ATSC and DVB-based set-tops and multiple Conditional Access systems. You got the whole picture wrong, SFA is working with HLIT on multiple MSO projects,from CLEC's to Canadien to TWX's projects. Ahhaha, stop teasing me you big lug. Hiram
