platform to deliver high-performance broadband services to Hong
Kong subscribers via existing power lines. Using power lines as a
distribution network along with the SmartEdge Service Gateway,
PowerCom is able to achieve broadband intelligence, aggregation and
management in one device. Today, PowerCom is taking advantage of
the resilience, reliability, and scalability of the SmartEdge
platform as subscriber numbers and bandwidth requirements grow
dramatically. "We are delighted that our customer PowerCom has been
honored with the InfoWorld 100 Award," said Marco Wanders, chief
marketing officer at Redback Networks. "PowerCom's broadband over
power line service is a truly innovative initiative and we are
thrilled that the SmartEdge platform is going to support
sophisticated next-generation services like IPTV and
video-on-demand for subscribers in Hong Kong." PowerCom plans to
offer IPTV and video on demand through their BPL network, as well
as use Redback's subscriber management capabilities to provide
personalized broadband services to customers who were previously
unable to receive service. Redback's SmartEdge combines advanced
broadband aggregation and subscriber management functionality with
IP edge routing for PowerCom to enable next-generation service
delivery. "IT departments continue to learn hard lessons about
business realities and realistic ROI," said Eric Knorr, InfoWorld's
executive editor at large. "The InfoWorld 100 provides a forum for
IT managers to get the recognition they deserve for smart projects
from an audience of their peers." About InfoWorld Media Group
