Motorola Introduces New ASI to Gigabit Ethernet Bridge for Legacy Video Services
Ultra-low power device will enable simple migration of ASI video technologies to IP core
HORSHAM, Pa., April 8 -- The Home business of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) announced today the launch of the AGB240 ASI to Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) Bridge, a solution that will enable service providers to cost-effectively migrate legacy ASI video equipment to Internet Protocol (IP) networks in headend environments.
"With the rising consumer demand for high-bandwidth video content, many service providers are reaping the benefits of an all-IP infrastructure, gaining more flexibility and reliability in their networks. As a result, operators are migrating their legacy ASI video interfaces to GigE IP transport networks to simplify their headend architectures," said Bob Wilson, vice president, Networked Video Solutions Group, Motorola, Inc. "As always, though, cost plays a big factor in determining the speed and scale of their transition to IP. With up to 24 ports of ASI input, the AGB240 is the lowest cost, most energy efficient solution in the industry for migrating to an all-IP headend."
The new Motorola AGB240 delivers highly reliable bridging of traffic from ASI video service outputs in legacy equipment to a common GigE IP backbone or transport network using the most simplified and cost-effective method available. At only 20 watts per rack unit, the AGB240 also provides significant "green" savings to service providers by using up to 90 percent less power than alternative solutions.
