Telewest Accelerates Next Generation Network Evolution with Cisco IP Technology
Delivers TV-on-Demand to more than 1 million customers by early 2006
LONDON, UK, June 15, 2005 - Cisco Systems announced today that Telewest, the UK cable broadband communications and media group, is accelerating its national core and edge network upgrade to converge four networks, for voice, video, Broadband and business data, onto a single platform using Cisco's Internet Protocol Next Generation Network (IP NGN) solution.

The Cisco solution is designed to provide the substantial broadband capacity required for the national rollout of Telewest's TV-on-demand (TVOD) services, with ample additional bandwidth to support the growth of broadband services and extend Telewest's high-bandwidth Ethernet and IP Virtual Private Network (IP-VPN) services to more business customers by doubling the number of business hub sites in the network. In addition to rationalizing the transport of all services onto one IP network, Telewest is simplifying the network by converging layer 2 and layer 3 switching infrastructures, resulting in cost savings, accelerated network upgrades and greater flexibility to add new services.

Each computer on the network has a unique IP (Internet Protocol) address, which identifies that computer and differentiates it from other computers on the network. Each request made to the server comes from a unique IP address or site.

Telewest offers a significant service portfolio in four markets: voice, pay TV, Internet access and business data services*. "Cisco was able to fulfil all the complex requirements of each area of our business with one design," explained Howard Watson, Chief Technology Officer and managing director of Networks, Technology and IT, Telewest. "The benefits of moving to an IP next-generation network are obvious, but there are also risks to consider. Working with Cisco helps us to make a smooth and fast transition so that we can continue to make market-leading service innovations and fully exploit new opportunities in the broadband market."

- Your computers are in an internal network behind a NAT based router. Only the router has a public IP address. You can access your internal network computers via the Internet. To do this you need to configure 'Forwarding' firewall. Configure the router to forward connections from a port on the router to a specific IP address and port (Radmin server's default port is 4899) of the target computer in your internal network. You need to assign a port on the router for every computer you need to access. The router will then forward the connection to your computer in the internal network.
- Your PCs have real IP addresses but the firewall has its port 4899 closed. In this case you have to open 4899 or use another open port.
- Radmin Server does not start on the server. Examine the log file on the server for the reason.

"It was clear from the outset that Telewest's vision for convergence focused on improving services to its customers, which meant an aggressive schedule for the rollout of TVOD services," said Geraint Anderson, vice president, Service Provider Wireline EMEA, Cisco Systems. "Through our depth of customer experience with over 10 million subscribers using IPTV and video-on-demand services on a daily basis, delivered on Cisco networks, we have proven cases that Cisco's IP NGN solutions are providing a rich quality of user experience and sound investment protection, not only for cable but also for DSL and fibre-based broadband access networks."
