     TV Cabo Lowers Cost of Real-time Contribution Content Delivery
     Using Cisco IP Transport
     - May 12, 2004 04:00 AM (BusinessWire)

COLOGNE, Germany & LISBON, Portugal--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12,
2004--


Cisco-based IP Video Contribution Network Will Provide Flexibility
  and Cost Savings for Delivery of Broadcast Quality Video Content to
                          Transmission Centre


Cisco Systems(R) (Nasdaq:CSCO) today announced that TV Cabo,
Portugal's largest cable operator, is successfully utilising a quality
of service (QoS) enabled broadband IP network backbone based on Cisco
solutions to contribute high-quality digital video content. This
single converged IP infrastructure will help it to make significant
cost-savings over traditional methods of video contribution, which
traditionally involve hiring either satellite space or a dedicated
leased line.


TV Cabo first looked at contributing video over its broadband
network in 2002 in an effort to cost-effectively integrate one of its
regional channels, which is produced some 300 km away from the
broadcast center in Lisbon, into the rest of its channel line up.
Using Cisco technology, the company has been able to take advantage of
its existing nationwide multi-service broadband IP network for
real-time contribution of content for more than a year now. This has
been achieved at no more than the cost of Cisco routing technology
connected to the rest of TV Cabo's multi-service IP backbone and
TT6120 MediaLink units, providing ASI / Fast Ethernet adaptation, from
TANDBERG Television.
