SARASOTA, Fla. -- Compress Technologies believes tests will show it possible to add up to 100 additional cable television channels on many older coaxial cable television networks.

The technology appears to offer multi-million dollar savings from fiber replacement. It is no secret that cable television operators must find more bandwidth to compete against the local telephone companies. The cost to replace a cable operator's typical coaxial network is in the multi-millions of dollars.

CTLG's technology works through a combination of hardware and software upgrades to an existing coaxial cable network. CTLG believes it can reduce or eliminate the need for many costly fiber replacements.
