Adelphia Deploys BigBand's Broadband Multimedia-Service-Router (BMR)

Adelphia Communications, the fifth largest US cable company, has deployed BigBand Networks' Broadband Multimedia-Service-Router (BMR) for digital broadcast services at four headend system locations. The equipment is being used to gain better control over programming and its consumption of network bandwidth. The BigBand BMR's media processing enhances bandwidth efficiency through selective application of rate shaping video bit rate adaptation to some or all programs on an as-needed basis.
