C-COR's Network Health and Service Management Software to Be Deployed Throughout All Time Warner Cable Systems

Posted on: Wednesday, 18 January 2006, 09:00 CST

C-COR Incorporated (Nasdaq:CCBL), a global provider of interoperable network solutions that simplify the transition to on demand networks, announced today that Time Warner Cable will integrate C-COR's Network Service Manager (NSM(TM)) solution in all TWC systems. Time Warner is expanding its current installations of C-COR's network health and service management solution through a master enterprise-wide agreement with C-COR and will begin deploying NSM system-wide starting this year.

C-COR's Network Service Manager enables operators to proactively monitor the entire service delivery infrastructure. System personnel are able to use root cause analysis to immediately understand the impact of system failure on customers. NSM can locate failed components graphically in the operator's network and track customer complaints to actual specific failures. The NSM also provides a wide range of service management usage and bandwidth management tools. Time Warner Cable's Oceanic and San Diego divisions currently use C-COR's NSM to immediately identify and prioritize potential problems that could impact the delivery of video, voice, and data services.

"NSM is built to give cable operators the field management and operational tools they need to effectively make the critical decisions that impact both their customer relationships and their bottom line," said Michael Pohl, president of C-COR's Global Strategies group. "Our goal is to help our operators deliver guaranteed service reliability and enhanced customer service as they roll out new advanced services."

Time Warner Cable currently deploys several applications from the C-COR CableEdge(R) Suite of Assurance applications to manage its high-speed data and Voice over IP (VoIP) services. The CableEdge line of applications optimizes networks for bandwidth utilization as well as analyzes and troubleshoots voice and data services on the DOCSIS(R) network. C-COR will integrate CableEdge with its VoiceAssure(TM) offering that manages the complete VoIP services lifecycle, including on-going fault tolerance performance and capacity planning.

To date C-COR's On Demand, Advertising Insertion, Mobile Workforce, and Service Assurance solutions have been deployed in various Time Warner Cable divisions. These solutions are part of C-COR's comprehensive platform of advanced applications that also includes a customer provisioning solution. Built to industry standards, C-COR's modular, interoperable applications can be tailored to an operator's needs, whether it is a full suite or a point-specific application, thus providing a smoother, faster transition to IP-oriented network services.
