Business Wire
BigBand Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:BBND) today announced its IP
delivery solution, vIP PASS, has been named a finalist for the
Society for Broadband Professionals (SCTE) 2011 Technological
Innovation Awards. vIP PASS is one of the three short-listed
applicants in the category of “Best Digital Processing
Solution.”
BigBand’s vIP PASS supports the delivery of IP video services to
a wide variety of IP-enabled consumer electronics devices. This
robust, end-to-end video IP delivery solution leverages the same
cable network architecture, software systems and network-based
tools that are used to deliver and manage all of today’s proven
cable video services. By “wrapping” IP video in DOCSIS®, the
industry's signaling standard, vIP PASS gives service providers the
ability to deliver video streams to IP devices without the need to
transit through a cable modem termination system (CMTS). vIP PASS
is designed to offer a more cost-efficient means to deploy IP video
today.
“The European market is seeing the explosive growth of
sophisticated, IP-enabled devices, such as PCs, smart phones, and
televisions. European operators are looking for solutions that will
let them extend managed video services to subscriber-owned devices
in the home network, and that is just what vIP PASS can enable them
to do,” said Harald Braun, Executive Vice President, BigBand
Networks. “This is a wonderful honor, and we are proud to be
considered a finalist for this award.”
The SCTE 2011 Technology Innovation Awards, open to the entire
broadband industry, acknowledges technological innovation in the
broadband arena and may be for a product, system or concept. The
announcement of the winners will be made at the SCTE Annual Gala
Dinner at Hatfield House on Saturday, April 2nd 2011.
Founded in 1945, the SCTE is a Learned Society and non-profit
making organization whose aim is to raise the standard of broadband
engineering in the telecommunications industry. Visit
