"Following extensive testing of several VoIP cable modems, we selected the Scientific-Atlanta products for the superior performance and technical capabilities they provide to our customers," said Ionut Tarcea, marketing manager of the RDS/RCS Group. "In addition, Scientific-Atlanta was able to support our very aggressive deployment schedule and deliver the cable modems quickly to shorten our time to market and hasten our ability to begin collecting revenue for the voice services."
In the first few months of its voice service rollout, RDS has already deployed over 1,000 of the Scientific-Atlanta voice modems for SOHO voice service. The Scientific-Atlanta family of voice modem products has been designed to be compatible with PacketCable and Euro-PacketCable to help assure a high level of interoperability with other Euro-PacketCable and PacketCable qualified and compliant devices including Call Management Servers, Media Gateways and Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS).
"RDS moved quickly to provide new choices for voice service customers following the deregulation of the marketplace late last year," said George Stromeyer, vice president and managing director, at Scientific-Atlanta Europe NV. "Our longstanding relationship with RDS enabled us to team with them in their aggressive response to the challenges of this competitive environment to meet their schedule for delivering high-performance, cost-efficient voice services."
