Funai Electric to Demonstrate Residential Gateway Supporting Cable’s
All Digital Transition at The Cable Show ’08 in New Orleans.
Osaka, Japan. -- May 13, 2008 -- Funai Electric Co., Ltd. (TSE/OSE 6839) today announced theirintent to exhibit a residential gateway of digital cable broadcasting at The Cable Show ‘08, May
18–20 in New Orleans, LA. (Funai Booth#: 3705) Funai developed the residential gateway for theU.S. cable market with its core technology enabled by the “TeraPIX™” silicon solution fromBroadLogic Network Technologies, and will leverage Funai’s high volume manufacturing expertisefor large deployments.
This gateway can receive up to 24 channels of QAM signals and then convert them to over 80
channels of NTSC signals simultaneously. Once deployed, this gateway will allow MSOs toeliminate analog simulcast within the cable network while simultaneously delivering the same orcustomized analog service tier to their customers. A key benefit of this gateway is the ability toallow MSOs to reclaim the network analog bandwidth for use in other revenue generating
applications.
Funai's initial target market for this residential gateway is the U.S. broadband market. Future
consideration is to support similar applications globally in markets such as Japan, China and India.
At the Cable Show ’08, Funai plans to exhibit a first working sample by Funai’s own design, anddemonstrate this gateway converting digital signals up to twenty analog TVs to show simultaneousconversion. Funai is targeting to deploy this residential gateway to the U.S. market in 2009.
