About the Webcast

With the proliferation of user-generated video on social media sites such as YouTube and Facebook, the continued growth in peer-to-peer file sharing and multiplayer gaming, consumer uploads are increasing faster than ever before. So far, telecommunications service providers have led the charge with 15Mbps and 20Mbps upstream offerings. The time has come for cable's response.
Join Communications Technology and experts from Motorola and IDC in this FREE webcast for a look at a strategic weapon in the battle to deliver upstream services: Synchronous code division multiple access (S-CDMA). This spread-spectrum mode allows operators to unlock extra capacity in the spectrum below 15 MHz, which has gone underutilized until now.

Technology strategists and planners, field engineers and technicians will benefit from learning:

• What S-CDMA is and how it fits within the DOCSIS framework;
• How you can use it to capture between 30 and 50 percent extra capacity;
• How it has performed in the difficult conditions of the spectrum below 15 MHz;
• How operators can deploy it immediately, without additional hardware or outside plant upgrades;
• How operators can combine it with upstream channel bonding to meet future needs.

Speakers:

	David Emberley Research Manager IDC
	Dr. Robert Howald Customer Systems Architect Motorola
	Jonathan Tombes Editor (Moderator) Communications Technology

How does the Webinar work?

The live audio is delivered to your location over the telephone or your computer speakers. The Power-Point presentations are presented over the Internet and are available to print out before the program. This is like a talk-radio program with visuals on the Web. You and your team will be able to have a live Q&A with all the speakers.

You need Real Player or Windows Media Player installed on your computer. If you do not have either, please follow the instructions below to download and install them. Or if you prefer, a phone for the audio and an Internet connection to let you watch the slides and other information on the Web will suffice. No other downloads or special hardware - a dial-up connection will work fine.

• One (1) set of materials (you may make copies for all of the persons you invited to listen to the program);
• One (1) toll-free connection to the seminar (if you select the audio connection.), and
• One (1) Internet connection to the seminar.

What equipment do I need?

For the audio connection:

• A computer with Real Player or Windows Media Player installed. When you log into the Virtual Seminar, your computer will be taken through a brief configuration check and will let you know if you're missing any software.
• If you do not have Real or Windows, a touch-tone telephone will work also. It works best to use a speakerphone so that others can listen too.

For the Internet connection:

• PC: 166Mhz Pentium-based PC or better
• Operating system: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP
• Browser: For optimal viewing experience, we recommend using Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. However, any version of IE 4.0 or higher will work. For Netscape, only versions 4.x are supported at this time.
• Internet connection: 28.8 or faster connection
• Display set at 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600
• Mac users are encouraged to use Firefox 2.0 (or later) with Real Player to view the webcast. You can also test your system using the system test button in menu on the left hand side.
