Louisville, Colorado, March 11, 2009—Tru2way™ technology, including hardware, content/applications and test equipment, will play a major role in this year's CableNET® at The Cable Show '09 April 1–3 in Washington, D.C. Tru2way is the brand name for interactive digital cable services delivered over the cable video network.

Other applications and services that will be showcased in this industry exhibit include online broadband video, social networking, advanced advertising and home networking.

Tru2way applications follow CableLabs'® OpenCable™ Application Platform (OCAP™) specification which is based on Sun Microsystems' widely accepted Java™ technology. Examples of tru2way applications include interactive program guides, interactive ads, games, chat, web browsing, and t-commerce. In addition, several companies will participate in the technology showcase by using the EBIF (Enhanced TV Binary Interchange Format) specification, a separate technology which enables interactive applications to run on the millions of digital set tops already deployed by cable operators.

CableNET is a technology showcase that is co-sponsored by CableLabs and the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA), and offers a hands-on experience with many of the most exciting content, services, and applications.

Among the companies that will be demonstrating tru2way technology are Amdocs, BIAP, NDS, Samsung, UniSoft and Zodiac Interactive. Another highlight of CableNET this year is advanced network management, featuring Mixed Signals, Motorola, Sandvine and SupportSoft.

CableNET '09 will once again include a theater to house project primers and presentations by CableLabs staff. Topics will include business services, 3DTV, and tru2way technology.

Historically, CableNET has provided attendees a first glimpse of many nascent, leading-edge technologies and applications. Those included early views of the cable industry's Data over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS®) platform; high-definition televisions; two-way, OCAP-based devices, and early displays of interactive services and Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP).

Participating companies with brief descriptions of their demonstrations follow:

• Amdocs will demonstrate how a cable customer can self activate services on a tru2way set-top box.
• Aspera will show file transfer technology for cable applications.
• Aurora Networks will show how an RFoG deployment can be seamlessly extended to an all-IP access network using PON technology. Additionally, it will exhibit key components of its fiber deep solution, showing how bandwidth can be cost-effectively increased while reducing operating expenses.
