Incognito Software Announces Support and Participation from ARRIS in the Incognito DOCSIS(R) 3.0-IPv6 Interoperability Program

Business Wire
Incognito Software, a global provider of device provisioning and
network resource management systems, today announced that ARRIS
(NASDAQ: ARRS), a global leader in broadband local access networks,
will be a key participant in the Incognito DOCSIS 3.0-IPv6
Interoperability (Interop) Program. This program enables customer
premise equipment (CPE) and Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS)
vendors to test the provisioning of their products in a
multi-vendor, IPv6 environment. The need for this type of Interop
program is underscored by the fact that the provisioning of DOCSIS
3.0 compliant equipment differs significantly from DOCSIS 1.x and
2.x equipment, as DOCSIS 3.0 relies on IPv6 addressing and DHCPv6
auto-configuration. �It is critical to the mutual success of
operators and suppliers in the DOCSIS 3.0 open standards
environment to establish and maintain these types of
interoperability relationships,� said ARRIS Senior Director of
Business Development Jeff Brooks. �They not only ensure basic
operation but have the potential to accelerate network transition
and subscriber deployments.� With cable operators transitioning to
IP set top boxes and new mobility services, several large North
American multiple service operators (MSOs) have stated that their
IP management requirements now exceed over 100 million addresses,
which is largely due to the deployment of a variety of new IP-based
services. IPV6 and DOCSIS 3.0 now become critical building blocks
in supporting this increasing network endpoint population. �We
welcome the support and participation of ARRIS to the Incognito
Interop initiative,� said Patricia Steadman, Incognito�s Co-Founder
and CEO. �The benefits of having a company such as ARRIS bring its
innovation and breadth of knowledge to the program cannot be
overstated.� Hosted at the Incognito Software head office in
Vancouver, BC, this program brings hardware vendors together into
an integrated Interoperability testing environment where testing
and verification are continually performed. Device provisioning
within the lab will be accomplished through the Incognito Software
Broadband Command Center� provisioning system, which currently
activates millions of Cable Modems and MTAs within all major CMTS
vendor environments worldwide. �Our goal in establishing this
Interop is to have this advance work within the interoperability
and testing sphere reflect well on the industry as together we roll
out multi-vendor solutions to take advantage of the new
capabilities afforded by these standards,� commented Incognito
Co-Founder and CTO Stephane Bourque. For program registration,
