The prototype supports simultaneous 2 Tbit/s transmission of 20 C-band optical channels, providing capacity of as much as 40 Tbit/s per fiber. According to the company, as many as 10 million subscribers can watch high-def VoD services simultaneously.

The new STB SoCs also provide state-of-the-art Conditional Access (CA) and Digital Rights Management (DRM) security, enabling the conversion of content from CA to an IP-DRM streaming content to protect the rights of content providers.
