Product Code: R97-1802Description Forget the triple play, and four-play, we now have "multi-play."
The capabilities of Gigabit Ethernet Video Routers are expanding to support advanced audio and video compression methods, and widening their features and functions to provide fully-converged Internet Protocol networks that are capable of delivering an extended range of multiple services, which go far beyond the so-called "triple play" of just video, voice and high speed data.
Gigabit Ethernet Video Routers are creating completely converged IP networks that can be re-configured "on the fly" to provide a wide range of services to subscribers. The trick is to get the right "bits" moved through the network, at the lowest cost, to obtain the maximum value from each service, and from each customer.
