Under this agreement, ADC will sell and support the Nuera ORCA® RDT-8v gateway along with ADC's carrier-class CudaTM 12000 IP Access Switch. ADC and Nuera have set up a joint lab in Farnborough, UK to test and verify V5.2 solutions using the RDT and Cuda and with ADC's FastFlowTM Broadband Provisioning Manager (BPM), which supports the provisioning of PacketCableTM-based Multimedia Terminal Adaptors (MTAs). This solution allows cable operators to cost-effectively expand the service footprint of their V5.2 capable switches over their existing EuroDOCSIS cable networks." 11:12:36 AM    comment []
