NC2000 Network

Controller
Next-generation controller that facilitates real-time data delivery in
the interactive network

Product Overview
The NC2000 next generation controller
features a high-density, high availability,
state-of-the-art chassis-based Network
Controller platform that is ideally suited to
support the growing demand for interactive
applications on today’s networks such as
video on demand (VOD), switched digital
video (SDV), network DVR, and EBIF
applications.
