“We believe the company is on track to deliver profitable revenue growth,” said Concurrent President and CEO Dan Mondor. “The year-over-year results are the best measure of the progress we have made.

Concurrent’s MediaHawk on-demand platform has been selected for video-on-demand (VOD) deployments by several cable operators. Earlier this year, Cox Communications said it would deploy MediaHawk 4500 servers across its entire VOD-enabled footprint.
The MediaHawk was also used by Time Warner Cable for the cable operator’s first Start Over rollout in Columbia, S.C., three years ago and was also selected for the same duty earlier this year in Bright House Network’s Start Over deployment.
Everstream, a division of Concurrent, is being used by some cable operators to collect and sort cable system information.
