Networking Bried

July 24, 2005

Twice Dallas— Broadband service providers will compete more aggressively in marketing home-network equipment and residential gateways to support new multimedia services, promote customer retention, lower costs and produce higher revenues, according to a Parks Associates study.

“Home networking equipment is shifting from low-cost and relatively limited devices sold at retail to integrated modem and router platforms that offer multimedia applications and advanced management software,” said Parks' principal analyst Kurt Scherf

Residential gateways will be a major component of the providers' equipment offerings because the gateways help reduce support costs “by providing a solution more integrated with a carrier's unique network and business needs,” Scherf said.
