• N2 Broadband landed $10 million in financing for a total of $17 million. The round was led by Highland Capital Partners with follow-on from AOL Time Warner Ventures. Highland Managing General Partner Dan Nova has joined N2's board.

N2 had secured about $6.5 million in strategic financing in the second quarter of last year from AOL TW Ventures, The Convex Group CEO Jeff Arnold, and media analyst Paul Kagan, says spokesman Dwight Witherspoon. The company launched with about $1 million in seed financing from friends and family.

N2, which in part provides plug-and-play interoperability of back-end systems for interactive services, will use the funds to expand its cable product lines, including maturing its MediaPath asset delivery system and developing its asset management system, Witherspoon says.
