ARRIS and LongBoard Achieve Successful Fixed Mobile Convergence
Over HFC SUWANEE, Ga., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS
(NASDAQ:ARRS), in conjunction with LongBoard, Inc., today announced
that the companies have successfully demonstrated Fixed Mobile
Convergence (FMC) over a Hybrid-Fiber Coax (HFC) network. ARRIS has
also demonstrated interoperability between ARRIS' Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) enabled Touchstone(TM) Telephony Modems
and LongBoard's Mobility Application Platform (LMAP(TM)). Fixed
Mobile Convergence allows subscribers to seamlessly roam between
cellular and wireless local area networks (WLAN) using a dual-mode
handset for voice calls. "The first service to experience seamless
mobility through convergence will be voice, but video and data will
soon follow," said Bryant Isaacs, ARRIS President of New Business
Ventures, on announcing the achievement. "Voice, video, and data
services will be offered on the high bandwidth WLAN when available,
and on the wide area cellular network when the user is truly
mobile." "Cable operators represent a potentially large market for
fixed mobile convergence activities," said Bill Leslie, founder and
CTO of LongBoard. "We are demonstrating interoperability with ARRIS
because they are a premier supplier in the cable industry and they
understand the value of offering voice mobility services to cable
subscribers." LongBoard's Open Mobile Cable (OMC) application
enables MSOs to offer quadruple play mobility services that keep
subscribers on their networks and in their control. LongBoard's OMC
application is based on LMAP, a SIP-based mobility server that
interoperates with the ARRIS SIP-enabled Touchstone Telephony
Modem. This carrier-grade mobility server provides a carrier-class
software infrastructure for integrating IP-based communications
with cutting- edge next-generation applications, including FMC,
based on the SIP standard. ARRIS will demonstrate the joint FMC
solution in booth #5452 at the NCTA National Show in San Francisco,
Calif, April 3-5, 2005. Forward-looking statements: Certain
