Motorola doubles top-tier Internet speeds for Armstrong Cable | MSO Optics News | Lightwave Online

JANUARY 13, 2010 -- Armstrong Cable is deploying the Motorola BSR 64000 TX32 decoupled downstream module across its broadband network. Armstrong, with cable systems in Kentucky, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, is leveraging Motorola's high-density downstream equipment to stay ahead of increased broadband competition within its serving areas.

Increased demand for bandwidth is prompting cable operators to seek cost-effective technologies that will deliver a substantial boost to downstream Internet speeds. By adding high-density and redundant TX32 modules directly into the Motorola BSR 64000, Armstrong expects to cost-effectively deliver an additional 64 QAM channels out of an existing chassis. The benefits include the quadrupling of downstream capacity and channel bonding services all while utilizing existing hardware investments...
