--------------------------------------------------------------------- The Evening Bridge - March 22, 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP STORY: Scientific-Atlanta developed a new Web-based software system that can monitor the two-way status of a cable network and identify the specific point where network problems occur to significantly decrease the average time to repair for outages. By quickly identifying problems in the network, virtually in real time, the new Pointer software system can help cable operators dispatch the appropriately skilled technician to one network location, resolving issues for multiple customers with a single truck roll.
