Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced that Charter Communications, a
leading communications and entertainment services provider and the
fourth-largest cable operator in the United States, is deploying
the Cisco® CRS-3 Carrier Routing System and Cisco ASR 9000 Series
Aggregation Services Routers to deliver enhanced video, data, voice
and mobile backhaul services to residential and commercial
customers.
Charter continues to invest to stay ahead of increasing demands
being driven by both video and advanced collaboration applications.
Residential customers are empowered to enjoy personalized viewing
experiences from all types of content sources, backed by this
best-of-class Cisco Internet Protocol Next-Generation Network (IP
NGN).

meet Charter's bandwidth requirements, including 100 Gigabit
Ethernet, protecting its infrastructure investment and readying it
for future video needs and advanced business services.
- The Cisco ASR 9000 includes unique video capabilities, such as
high-performance multicast, integrated content caching, in-line
video performance monitoring, and zero-loss video transport
technology.

IOS® XR software operating system, and work together to simplify
