Louisville, Colorado, April 2, 2007—CableLabs® announced today that OCAP™-based interactive applications and home security exhibits are among the demonstrations of advanced broadband technology that comprise the 15th annual CableNET® exhibit, a highlight of The Cable Show '07.

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. The Cable Show '07, NCTA's 56th Annual Convention and International Exposition, will be held May 7–9 at The Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.

In addition to forming a major presence at the CableNET pavilion, OCAP™ is the subject of a two-day pre-convention conference for OCAP Developers. That event is co-sponsored by NCTA and CableLabs and also is at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Within CableNET, companies with OpenCable™ Application Platform (OCAP™) demonstrations include Advanced Micro Devices, NDS, Samsung, Sofia Digital Ltd.; Softel-USA and UniSoft Corporation/Strategy & Technology Ltd.

CableNET enables attendees to see and discuss leading-edge technologies and applications. Among this year's highlights are a number of security technologies that enable cable operators to offer monitoring solutions for homes and businesses from companies such as Alarm.com, NextAlarm.com and uControl.

CableNET will feature several technology demonstrations including: 145 megabit-per-second download speeds of Internet Protocol (IP) high definition TV (HDTV); broadband wireless, interactive advertising, Internet-focused applications and services; and advanced PacketCable™ 2.0-based technologies. New this year will be several demonstrations of user-generated content applications, including Comverse and SimpleStar.

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).

“Once again, CableNET will prove to be an important, must-see destination for anyone in our industry who wants to see cable's future,” said Dr. Richard R. Green, CableLabs President and CEO. “It is exciting to see new companies in CableNET showing their ideas and business concepts to our very entrepreneurial attendees.”

“CableNET demonstrates the new and innovative technologies that make our industry a technology leader,” said NCTA President & CEO Kyle McSlarrow. “What's in CableNET often finds its way into the homes of our customers tomorrow, as cable expands and enhances its many service offerings that are improving the lives of American consumers.”
