STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- C-COR Incorporated (NASDAQ:CCBL) today announced that TV Cabo, Portugal's largest pay-TV operator, has selected C-COR to ensure increased network reliability and lower operating costs through comprehensive analysis, control, management, and monitoring of their DOCSIS(R) networks.

"C-COR's CableEdge provides us with crucial analysis tools to help sustain a reliable delivery of a suite of services including ultra-high-speed broadband and VoIP," said Zeinal Bava, CEO of TV Cabo.

"With the number of broadband intensive applications proliferating around the world, network management solutions that proactively manage services and the DOCSIS network are poised to play an increasingly crucial role for cable operators," said Bob Cruickshank, C-COR's vice president of worldwide OSS strategy and product management.
