"At the time, we took a risk when we choose TVS to be our Headend Vendor," saidChristopher Lovell, President of Coaxial Cable, "as they were just starting outin business. Platform configurations include asubscriber management system, a conditional access system, an interactiveprogram guide, and a range of set-top boxes. When receiving digital programs and applications direct fromprogrammers, it is possible, in the space of a single six-foot rack, for theChallenger to provide 200-300 programs These program sources can be analog ordigital programs. The outputs can be multiple carrier, 64/256 QAM outputs, orASI for transport to other locations. The platform is designed specifically for independent cableoperators, with as few as 500 subscribers, to larger operators with 100,000 plusnetwork operations. The TVS Challenger platform delivers CATV multiplexing and signal-compressiontechnology.
Using the TVS ChallengerPlatform, their 550 MHz system delivers 187 channels to over 4000 subscribers. The transition from their hybrid analog/digital infrastructure to an all-digitalplatform was accomplished through a phased rollout. Coaxial Cable`s platform nowcomplete, has enabled them to offer subscribers both standard and highdefinition programming, higher speed broadband, VoIP, and additional servicesthat are available because of the freed-up bandwidth. What makes thisnewsworthy is it is believed they are the first independent cable operator inNorth America to completely eliminate analog programming services and deliver anall-digital platform to their subscribers.

ASQED`09 spans two days,Wednesday through Thursday, in three parallel tracks, hosting over 60 technicalpresentations, several keynote speakers, tutorials and other informal meetings.Conference proceedings will be published by IEEE and posted in the digitallibrary.
Please refer to the conference website at http:// for furtherinformation about the conference. ASQED`09 is aimed at bridging the gap among electronic design tools andprocesses, integrated circuit technologies, processes & manufacturing, toachieve design quality. The conference emphasizes innovations and the latestdevelopments in IC and system Design, EDA, Semiconductor Process Technology, ICPackaging, Test, and Manufacturing communities. About ISQEDASQED`09 is the first Asian event organized by the International Society forQuality Electronic Design (ISQED ). The Symposium is organized with theMalaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT) and theMalaysian Institute of Microsystems (MIMs) with support from the MalaysianIndustrial Development Authority (MIDA). "I will addressone of the major quality topics which is variability causes and effects inadvanced CMOS processes and the implication and solutions for mixed-signaldesigns."Sponsors, Supporters.
