Hanaro's wideband DOCSIS 2.0B M-CMTS service with channel bonding, capable of delivering 150 Mbps or more, is fully operational and has reportedly been very well received by Hanaro customers.
• Proxilliant Systems announced that it recently completed a successful pilot of its Cable Access Management System (CAMS) with Kabel Deutschland (KDG), Germany's largest cable-based TV, Internet and phone product provider. KDG is now evaluating a major rollout of the CAMS solution throughout its footprint of 15 million homes passed. The pilot involved some 60,000 homes passed in KDG's system in the city of Trier, and the solution permanently reduced the influence of ingress in the return path and improved the resultant carrier-to-noise ratio to significantly improve cable service reliability and quality, according to Proxilliant.
