SUWANEE, Ga., Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS
International plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) announced today that izzi
Telecom deployed the ARRIS ME-7000 Converged Compression Platform
in its cable TV operation in Mexico. Through ARRIS's platform, izzi will
deliver new HDTV programming to its subscribers and increase
bandwidth efficiency, making spectrum available for additional
services.
The ME-7000 provides izzi with the industry's most advanced
hardware-accelerated video compression system. The platform
delivers a high-quality performance that's compatible with today's
broadcast services while enabling the provision of tomorrow's IP
and multi-screen services.
izzi will benefit from the lowest total cost of ownership
available from a single compression platform, coupled with the
ability to deliver more, higher-quality channels to more
subscribers, across multiple devices. The ME-7000's modular and
scalable design also supports future upgrades to HEVC and Ultra HD
services—including 4K and HDR—at densities and performance levels
unachievable through software encoding solutions.
ARRIS Global Services configured and tested the system—achieving
the highest video signal quality and efficiency by advising on
multicast, IP, and MPEG delivery schemes, and ensuring service
continuity through a redundant configuration.
"PayTV and broadband data usage is growing rapidly in
Mexico, and izzi is focused on
utlizing its spectrum efficiently to anticipate this demand," said
Israel Corona, Engineering and
Development Director, izzi Telecom. "That begins by investing in
network infrastructure that can deliver those experiences today
while providing a scalable foundation for tomorrow's services. We
selected the ARRIS ME-7000 converged compression platform because
of its unique combination of hardware-accelerated compression
performance and unmatched density and power efficiency."
"For global service providers like izzi, the ME-7000
significantly reduces operational expenditures, while providing the
capacity to deliver high-quality experiences for subscribers well
into the future," said German
Iaryczower, SVP of
Sales, Caribbean and Latin America at ARRIS. ""Our
ME-7000 platform is the most advanced video compression system for
global providers making the shift to IP and preparing for next
generation TV services."
