MSO selects Terayon as a preferred
vendor
By Susan Rush
From The August 26, 2002 Edition Of CED Broadband Direct
Terayon Communications Systems Inc. joins Motorola Broadband and
Toshiba America Information Systems as a preferred next-generation
cable modem vendor for Cox Communications.
Cox has approved Terayon's TJ 715 DOCSIS 2.0-based cable modem
for use in its networks. The modem is DOCSIS 1.1 certified. CableLabs
has not yet begun testing for DOCSIS 2.0 certification.
The MSO plans to deploy the modem in its Phoenix system shortly.
Phoenix, viewed as a highly competitive market for residential
broadband service, is Cox's largest facility.
The news of the deal with Cox gave investors something to smile
about, and gave Terayon's stock a much-need shot in the arm. At
one point in morning trading, Terayon shares were up 52 cents,
or 24 percent, to $2.68.
Earlier this month, Comcast Corp. certified Terayon's TJ 615
cable modem for deployment in its high-speed network. The cabler
plans to deploy the DOCSIS 2.0-based modem in select service areas.
