TUNE Microtune (MM)

At the recent Cable Show in Las Vegas, NV, Microtune�s (Nasdaq: TUNE) radio frequency (RF) technology was featured across the innovative cable modems, embedded multimedia terminal adaptors (EMTAs), set-top boxes, and upconverters of the industry�s premier equipment suppliers, enabling the deployment today of next-generation converged, networked or on-demand cable services. The National Cable & Telecommunications Association�s Cable Show, held in Las Vegas, NV, May 7-9, 2007, was this year�s annual conference and convention for the worldwide cable industry, a platform for displaying the newest broadband technologies, products and solutions. This show�s theme, �Cable: No Limits,� reflected the new business opportunities positioning the industry to maintain market leadership in video, voice and data services, while thwarting increasing competition from Telcos. NEXT-GENERATION CABLE ENTERTAINMENT AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES Among the classes of Microtune-based products displayed or demonstrated at the show were: Cable modems and EMTAs, some with wider bandwidths and faster speeds, designed to spur revenue growth for cable telecommunications bundles, while providing highly competitive alternatives to telco offerings. Included in one display was a new DOCSIS� 3.0-class cable modem, featuring four MicroTuner� MT2060 tuners, that enables data download speeds of 150 megabits per second, or transmission speeds that are roughly 25 times faster than today's standard cable modems. Advanced, sophisticated set-top boxes that increasingly enable consumers to personalize and control their home entertainment experiences. Demonstrations included standard and high-definition PVR set-tops, based on multi-tuner architectures, which allow consumers to time-shift their TV content. Also on display was a new class of set-top box that offers digital cable set-top signal reception with off-air tuning capabilities. Upconverters for Multiple Dwelling Units (MDUs) that enable on-demand, high-definition digital video delivery solutions. Displays of multiple PCI card solutions, implementing Microtune�s VideoCaster� MT5100 silicon-based upconverter module, demonstrated how any server could be transformed into an HDTV solution for video-on-demand programming. �We were proud of the impressive Microtune technology presence at the Cable Show in leading-edge cable consumer products,� said James A. Fontaine, Microtune President and CEO. �Our goal is to provide the advanced silicon tuners that allow our customers to grow their business during the digital TV transition as the technology shifts to meet emerging new opportunities. Our customers� products showcased the value-added, revenue-generating entertainment and telecommunications services, including those supporting CableCard, DOCSIS 3.0 and more on-demand and interactive options, which are bringing new choices to the cable consumer.� Microtune offers a complete portfolio of RF products for broadband cable access, providing the RF building blocks that enable advanced voice, video, and data services. Microtune�s newest products are designed to accelerate the migration to the latest DOCSIS 3.0 standard and in-home networked services. They include: The industry�s first 1-GigaHertz (GHz) tuner, based on the new CableLabs� DOCSIS 3.0 specification, that enables cable equipment manufacturers to deliver impressive cable modem transmission speeds and flexibility with a faster (greater than 160 Mbps) and wider (100 MHz) pipeline into the home. Two new 1.1 GHz TV tuner chips that, when integrated into advanced set-top boxes, permit cable operators to provide their customers digital in-home network using existing cable wiring. Based on CableLabs DOCSIS and OpenCable� specifications, the two new MicroTuner� chips are the perfect companion tuners for personal video recorder (PVR) set-top boxes supporting the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA�) specification. Mr. Fontaine added, �We believe that our cable tuners offer the features�1-GHz expanded bandwidth, scalable multi-tuner architectures, DOCSIS standards support and market-proven reliability�required for next-generation, competitive applications. Our tuners, we believe, continue to dramatically differentiate Microtune in the marketplace�we are the only silicon tuner company today offering DOCSIS 3.0 and MoCA-compatible 1-GHz RF silicon technology.� ABOUT MICROTUNE Microtune, Inc. is a silicon and subsystems company that designs and markets radio frequency (RF) solutions for the worldwide broadband communications and transportation electronics markets.
