BigBand Networks was a corporation headquartered in Redwood City, California, that opened in 1999 and specialized in selling multimedia technologies to cable television multi-system operators. It had its IPO on the Nasdaq in 2007, which was met with controversy when a class-action lawsuit alleged that the company violated the Securities Act of 1933. The company was acquired as a division within Arris Group in 2011.
BigBand manufactured and sold digital video and data processing products and services for digital video and cable modem termination systems (CMTS). During its existence, BigBand won two Emmy Awards for its video on demand service and switched video technology.
