May 18, 2010 New Guide for Scientific Atlanta Cable Boxes. By Ted Hodgins. We heard loud and clear from customers that live in what we call Scientific Atlanta/Cisco (or SA) markets (that’s you, if your Guide looks like the one pictured here) that you want your Guide to have more shortcuts, load On Demand faster, and have a user-friendly interface. Learn about the Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD high definition DVR receiver's active and inactive ports, or review connection diagrams and other specifications. Jul 17, 2006 Hi, I noticed the comment from a few others about local IP address of the Cisco/Scientific Atlanta Cable Modem Modl RPC 2100. This local IP is useful to access the “admin page” of a modem from a PC on the same internal network. Soemone (Jimmy) said that the local IP was 192.168.100.1 (the same as the Motorla cable modem. That the CATV cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Scientific Atlanta, Inc. is a Georgia, United States-based manufacturer of cable television, telecommunications, and broadband equipment. Scientific Atlanta was founded in 1951 by a group of engineers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and was purchased by Cisco Systems in 2005 for $6.9 billion after Cisco received antitrust clearance for the purchase.^[1]^[2] The Cisco acquisition of Scientific Atlanta was ranked in the top 10 of largest technology acquisitions in history and was Cisco's largest acquisition to date.^[3]^[4] Prior to the purchase, Scientific Atlanta had been a Fortune 500 company and was one of the top 25 largest corporations in Georgia.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Scientific Atlanta was considered by many to be 'the patriarch of Atlanta's technology industry for nearly six decades' and is sometimes referred to as 'Atlanta's Microsoft or Hewlett Packard'.^[8] It was considered 'core to the development of technology in the Atlanta region' and 'was to Atlanta what Hewlett-Packard was to Silicon Valley' because of its legacy of spawning more than 35 substantial companies in the area.

Products[edit]

Scientific Atlanta is a supplier of transmission networks for broadband access to the home, set-top cable boxes, cable modems and digital interactive subscriber systems for video, high-speed Internet, voice over IP (VoIP) networks, and worldwide customer service and support.

Products for the cable TV industry, from fiber optic network equipment for head-end media acquisition, to Explorerdigitalcable boxes (as well as universal remotes to go with them), and cable modems (formerly branded as WebSTAR until the Cisco acquisition in 2006), dominate Scientific Atlanta's sales. Scientific Atlanta's most popular modem is the Scientific Atlanta 2100, because it is often supplied by cable providers like Spectrum, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Cox Communications. Scientific Atlanta also supplies distribution technology to networks such as Bloomberg Television, CNN, ESPN and many others.

In addition to providing products for traditional coaxial and fiber service operators, Scientific Atlanta also expanded its IPTV solutions offerings after the merger with Cisco.^[9] Before this, on August 18, 2005, Scientific-Atlanta and SBC (now AT&T) signed a deal for Scientific-Atlanta to be the exclusive set-top provider for SBC U-verse TV.

History[edit]

Founded in October 1951^[10] by six Georgia Tech Research Institute researchers: James E. Boyd (future station director), Charles Griffin, Robert E. Honer (MSEE), Gerald Rosselot (station director), Lamar Whittle and Vernon Widerquist who each invested $100. In late 1952 Glen P. Robinson became the seventh member.^[11] Scientific Atlanta was started to produce technology developed at the research station.^[12]^[13]^[14] After the fledgling company's first contract resulted in a $4,000 loss, Robinson bought out all but one of the original investors, and paid them each back their original $100.^[14]

Glen P. Robinson served as CEO of Scientific Atlanta for 20 years, and chairman of the board for an additional eight years, until he retired from the company in 1979. Scientific Atlanta grew dramatically; it earned $3.1 million in revenue in 1962 and approximately $200 million when Robinson left. Sidney Topol served as its president from 1971–83, CEO from 1975–87, and chairman of the board from 1978-90. During his tenure, the company grew in sales to more than $600 million. During the 1970s the company developed the concept of cable/satellite connection, which, in working with HBO and transportable earth stations developed by TelePrompTer Corporation and manufactured by Scientific Atlanta, established satellite-delivered television for the cable industry.^[15]

During the 1960s Scientific-Atlanta earned a place in the space and defense industries as a manufacturer of electronic testing equipment for antennae. By the end of that decade the company had added instruments for testing telephones and acoustic devices with defense applications. As a military contractor, the company distinguished itself by manufacturing unique electronic instruments for the federal government. According to Business Week, Scientific-Atlanta was a company 'fascinated with communications esoterica.'

Scientific-Atlanta applied its energy to opportunities in new fields with large growth potential and few barriers to entry. The company sought out products that were either low-cost and high volume or had a very high price tag. 'You've either got to make 10,000 of something worth $100 to $200, or several of something worth $500,000 or $10 million,' Topol told the New York Times. The company planned to make the low-cost, high volume end of this equation profitable through aggressive research and development and a strong marketing effort. In its annual report, as reprinted in David C. Rickert's Harvard Business School case study of Scientific-Atlanta, the company stat
