Northern Valley Communications (NVC) announced today the selection
of net.com's (NYSE:NWK) SCREAM broadband service delivery platform
as part of a video on demand deployment. The service will stream
MPEG-2 encoded content selected by users through an on-demand
service selection portal and will allow them to watch content in
real time. net.com is providing the SCREAM service delivery
platform, a next generation broadband remote access server (BRAS)
designed to deliver advanced quality of service (QoS) required for
delivering the triple play of voice, video and data services over
IP. SCREAM also provides the subscriber management functionality
required for basic broadband Internet access. The initial
deployment will contain the SCREAM100 platform. The SCREAM100 is a
fully redundant ATM switch, IP router and BRAS designed for
cost-conscious service providers needing a flexible platform for
service delivery. The SCREAM product will be deployed in
conjunction with a third party video on demand solution. "Northern
Valley is focused on delivering advanced services to our
subscribers," said James Groft, CEO of NVC. "After extensive
evaluation, NVC selected the net.com platform because it enables a
powerful video on demand service that gives Northern Valley a
competitive edge in the market." At the Telco TV industry event in
November of 2003, Northern Valley Communications commented that
most ILECs will offer some form of video in the future or be at a
competitive disadvantage. net.com performed extensive
interoperability testing to ensure a quality solution for Northern
Valley. The solution is ideally suited to support IP-based
streaming video over ATM-based DSL network infrastructures common
with carriers today. net.com's SCREAM platform, with QServ
technology, enforces IP QoS over ATM-based DSL access networks to
ensure smooth video delivery for subscribers. About Northern Valley
