Headhunters come into the light for the first time at IBC

Wenham Carter, a leading global provider of executive recruitment services to the broadcasting and telecoms Industry is to be a major VIP sponsor and exhibitor at IBC for the first time in 2010.

While on the surface IBC is rightly dominated by the latest development in media technology, it is the people behind these innovations that really count and who make our diverse media environment possible. One of the untold stories is the quiet war that has been raging for years as technology leaders and innovative service providers struggle to attract and retain the very best talent in a competitive market.

Wenham Carter has for many years worked closely with the corporate boards and senior management of the most ambitious and successful technology and service companies in our industry to assist them in recruiting and retaining the best staff. This critical business activity is often carried out discreetly and behind the scenes,
This year for the first time Wenham Carter is shining a light on the often covert domain of the recruitment specialist, and is exhibiting at IBC 2010, one of the most well attended events in the global broadcasting industry.

The aim is to lift the lid on the important role we play and provide advice to leading industry executives who are either seeking to build high performing teams or searching for a new career opportunity.

Commenting on the decision to highlight its activities to a wider global audience in the industry, Ben Fielder, Wenham Carter Managing Director said, "The need to find exceptionally talented people has always been central to the success of any innovative business or venture. The broadcasting and telecoms industries are no exception. We’ve made a strategic decision to become more visible to the wider industry this year and reach out to a wider audience in developed and emerging markets."

ARRIS Touchstone Telephony Gateway TG852G awarded DOCSIS 3.0 certification


Arris has announced that its Touchstone Telephony Gateway TG852G has been awarded DOCSIS 3.0 certification in CableLabs’ Wave #76.

The TG852G hardware is the newest generation ARRIS DOCSIS 3.0-certified wireless gateway with support for up to 8 bonded downstream channels and up to 4 bonded upstream channels -- which can deliver in excess of 320 Mbp/s and 120 Mbp/s, respectively. The TG852 combines 2 voice ports, a 4-port Gigabyte Router and an 802.11n wireless access point into a single device capable of supporting both home and small office applications. Using multiprocessor technology, the TG852 achieves this high bandwidth performance without affecting voice quality, a historical ARRIS product standard.

“DOCSIS 3.0 certification is a key step in bringing to market an IP Gateway EMTA that meets the stringent requirements of service providers.” said ARRIS Broadband Communications Systems SVP Derek Elder. “Reliability and WiFi performance are key to MSOs managing their operating expenses as they launch these new advanced services. The TG852G is built to meet these needs with a high power WiFi subsystem, internal antennas and power supplies and the reliability that is expected from ARRIS products.”
