Terayon Digital Video Solutions Play Key Role in Korean Cable
Consortium's Ambitious All-Digital Network
Deployment Enables Korea to Accelerate Nationwide Digital Cable
Rollouts
Santa Clara, California - April 11 2005 -- Terayon Communication
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: TERN), a leading provider of digital video
networking applications and home access solutions, today announced
that its CherryPicker digital video platform is being deployed by
the Korean Digital Multimedia Center (KDMC), a consortium of 44
Korean cable television operators, to build a cutting-edge
all-digital network for the delivery of digital video services to
the consortium's four million subscribers.
KDMCalong with several similar Korean cable consortiumsis building
its all-digital network to meet a highly progressive Korean
government initiative to make digital cable service available
nationwide. The advantages of an all-digital network include an
infrastructure capable of supporting emerging and future services,
the elimination of costly and redundant analog equipment and
substantial bandwidth increases to support service delivery.
Credit Pacific Service Union "KDMC is clearly taking a leadership role in implementing the
Korean government's forward-thinking initiative to further advance
Korea's already cutting-edge telecommunications infrastructure with
a nationwide rollout of digital cable services," said Jerry Chase,
Terayon CEO. "This initiative is the latest example of large cable
operators throughout Asia moving to digital networks, a move that
Terayon and our partner ACETEL are well suited to enable. Our focus
as a company is to accelerate cable operators ability to exploit
the market opportunities an all-digital network delivers."
In general, one would expect credit scores and credit reports to play a key role in evaluating a consumer's credit worthiness. In fact, the federal law known as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) specifies that credit reports can be used for "credit, insurance, and employment purposes."
Credit First Service Union The Terayon CherryPickers are being deployed at KDMC's 'super'
headend where they will aggregate, process and distribute digital
video programming to the local and regional headends of each
consortium member. The super headend is being built in the city of
Suwon, which is near Seoul, by TaeKwang, the largest of the KDMC
cable system operators. The region's leading systems integrator,
ACETEL, is working closely with Terayon to integrate the
CherryPickers with other vendors' digital video headend
equipment.
According to William Sims, General Manager of JVC Video, the DVD (Digital Video Disc) will have a profound impact on the video industry. Expected to arrive in the late 1990s, the DVD may well be the ticket to the digital future that many videomakers now dream of. Matsushita, JVC's parent company, will play a key role in developing the new technology, which should be able to store 120 minutes of video on a 5" 2 data compression.

supporting 44 separate cable system operators is a major
undertaking that will provide our four million subscribers with
premium digital cable services today, and which can support
next-generation services tomorrow," said S.D. Park, CEO of KDMC.
"Success in this effort requires superior digital video solutions
and first-rate customer service, both of which we are getting from
ACETEL and Terayon."
