ARRS Arris International Plc - Ordinary Shares

SUWANEE, Ga., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) today announced the successful deployment of wideband data service to customers of South Korean MSO Hyundai Communications and Network (HCN), the nation's third- largest cable system operator serving over 1.1 million video customers. The deployment was completed with the aid of ARRIS Korean Value-Added Reseller AJin Techline, and is the second ARRIS FlexPath wideband high-speed data service deployment in Korea. The deployment now delivers full duplex data speeds in excess of 100 Mbp/s to HCN customers using the ARRIS FlexPath wideband data solution contained in the ARRIS Cadant(R) C4(R) CMTS and the ARRIS Touchstone(R) WBM650B wideband modems. "We are pleased to announce this very successful deployment proving the technical ability of the ARRIS Wideband solution to deliver 100Mbps of service over an HFC network," said HCN Operational Director Jong-Myung Joo. "This deployment represents a big step toward meeting the Korean Ministry of Information and Communications' IT 839 strategy of building a converged network to deploy 100 Mbps ubiquitous wideband service in Korea." "We are very excited about this new very high-speed data deployment that will enable HCN to stay in the forefront of new technology applications in the region," said Andrew Bigbee, ARRIS SVP of Sales, Asia Pacific. "Korea is one of the world's most progressive markets in mandating the highest operational standards for the delivery of converged IP services over HFC and with our assistance, HCN has been able to exceed those rigorous benchmarks." About the ARRIS FlexPath Solution The ARRIS FlexPath solution is a DOCSIS(R) 3.0-based channel bonding initiative that delivers far more bandwidth per subscriber than previously available. FlexPath software is embedded into the ARRIS Cadant C4 CMTS and the ARRIS Touchstone Wideband Modem to deliver end-user data speeds of up to 140 Mbp/s in the downstream and up to 120 Mbp/s in the upstream. It does this by bonding up to four 256-QAM DOCSIS channels using packet-based bonding. The FlexPath solution also allows cable operators to deliver new services, like High Definition IPTV over DOCSIS and ultra-fast video downloads, to their customers. FlexPath software can be installed in a CMTS with a simple software upgrade and all legacy DOCSIS modems - 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 -- can coexist on the same downstream channels as the FlexPath modems.
