IACAS's National Network New Media Engineering Research Center was awarded for science innovation by the State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT) recent days. The project: To build up a mode of Integral Switch to Cable Digital TV---Research on the Dual-direction Service of Cable Digital Television and Technological Transformation was awarded for its Hi-New tech research, which got a great break through at key technologies in supporting dual direction service of cable TV. Furthermore, the joint project with CNCATV: Research on the Application of Ipv4HFC Based IPTV got the third grade.

The trial of both projects has run stable for more than one year. The related key technologies were patented, which not only provides technique support for building NGB but also lays solid foundation for the institute to develop NGB.
