NetLogic Microsystems' Knowledge-Based Processors Selected By BigBand Networks for Leading-Edge Cable VoIP and Video Network Equipment

Posted on: Monday, 2 April 2007, 12:00 CDT

NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. [NASDAQ:NETL], the leader in the design and development of knowledge-based processors, today announced that its knowledge-based processor has been selected by BigBand Networks, Inc. for the market-leading Cuda® cable modem termination system (CMTS) equipment.

The Cuda CMTS from BigBand Networks is a versatile high-performance carrier-class platform optimized to deliver services such as voice-over-IP (VoIP), IPTV, video-on-demand and broadband Internet for cable operators and multiple service operators (MSOs). The Cuda CMTS equipment is deployed by leading MSOs and cable operators, including Cablevision, Charter, Comcast, Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable and Verizon, to deliver rich triple-play services to tens of millions of subscribers worldwide.

NetLogic Microsystems' knowledge-baeed processor was selected because of the high performance, large database capacity, small package footprint and the industry's lowest power consumption. The knowledge-based processor from NetLogic Microsystems accelerates important functions such as quality-of-service (QoS), billing and packet filtering that in turn enhance the efficiency of bandwidth and network resources for triple-play carrier networks.

"Triple-play services increasingly require wire-speed hardware acceleration to boost performance for bandwidth-intensive applications such as high definition IPTV and VoIP so as to avoid network congestion," said James McDermott, director of marketing at NetLogic Microsystems. "We're very excited to be selected by BigBand Networks to collaboratively drive innovation and provide carrier-class products for cable operators and MSOs."

NetLogic Microsystems' knowledge-based processor features a massively parallel architecture which allows customers to perform multiple high-speed operations simultaneously while minimizing system power consumption.
