Chinese High-Definition Interactive Digital TV Leader Taps CopperGate for Low-Cost, Easy-to-Install EoC MDU Deployment : CopperGate HomePNA-Based Te
SHANGHAI, China (Business Wire EON) September 29, 2008 -- Since the beginning of 2007, B-STAR has been using HomePNA-based technology to transform the cable TV network in Shanghai's Jiading district. During this first phase of the project, B-STAR has connected over 10,000 residents with both broadband Internet access and iDTV services. Today, B-STAR is the industry leader in terms of bandwidth per user and the ability to provide iDTV value-added services compared to competitors of any size. Through B-STAR's large-scale business application in the Jiading district in Shanghai, it has proven that CopperGate's technology is a good solution for two-way cable TV network transformation.
"CopperGate's HomePNA-based technology helped us upgrade the cable TV network into a low cost, high quality service in the Jiading district," noted Harry Gao, technical vice president of B-STAR. "CopperGate's technology also helped us provide high performance multicast services and other value-added interactive services quickly. Of equal importance, we received great support from CopperGate. They have been an outstanding partner."
"Because HomePNA offers the highest network speeds over existing coax and telephone lines, it is fast becoming the home networking standard," commented Gabi Hilevitz, CopperGate CEO. "CopperGate's HomePNA-based technology has recently passed the test organized by SARFT (the state administration of radio film and television) in Beijing. B-STAR's selection demonstrates how HomePNA-based technology provides the best results for MSOs deploying iDTV."
B-STAR is using CopperGate's HomePNA-based chipsets to deliver iDTV and broadband Internet access to apartment residents. The solution includes set-top boxes and masters that serve multiple apartments ? all with HomePNA-based chipsets integrated into the devices. B-STAR initially expects to roll out to 100,000 apartments in Shanghai and expand to one million residences by 2010.
This is another pioneering development in CopperGate's growth in China. Last year, CopperGate introduced its latest reference design for Chinese cable service providers who need high quality, low-cost provisioning of triple-play IP video, data, and voice services over existing cable connections to apartments in MDUs.

Investing In China: Chinese Banks
China?s banking sector has traditionally served as a party-controlled feeding trough for its inefficient, unprofitable state-owned enterprises (SOEs), most of which were technically insolvent. The process was simple ? extend a loan to an unqualified SOE applicant, then write off the loan as a bad debt when it failed to repay. This situation is beginning to change, and Chinese banks are attracting the attention of foreign banks that are beginning to view them as investment opportunities rather than potential competitors. Nevertheless, China?s banking industry is beset by several problems.
