December 10 2007 - 12:27PM
PR Newswire (US)
SUWANEE, Ga., Dec. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ:ARRS), today announced that it has entered into an
engineering and co-marketing agreement with TECHNETIX Group Ltd.,
one of Europe's leading broadband cable and telecommunications
equipment suppliers. ARRIS entered the exclusive agreement to
expand its high quality Regal(R) brand portfolio of drop materials.
The newly branded Regal by Technetix (RT(TM)) series of splitters,
taps, in-home active and in-home networking products will include
the patent pending, TECHNETIX Ingress Safe(TM) technology, which
effectively reduces subscriber return channel ingress noise in
broadband cable networks. "This is an exciting new product suite
being introduced into the American cable industry," said Bob
Puccini, ARRIS TeleWire Supply President. "This alliance has
created the new Regal by Technetix product line that will change
the way our customers battle ingress noise in the future. This is
the only product of its kind in the industry and we look forward to
showing our customers its clear advantages." "We are pleased to
have the opportunity to combine our TECHNETIX Ingress Safe(TM)
technology with the Regal(R) brand while leveraging ARRIS' broad
reach in sales, marketing and logistical support in our target
markets," said Paul Broadhurst, Technetix Group CEO. "Technetix has
an eighteen year history of successfully supplying innovative
solutions to cable operators throughout Europe resulting in reduced
operating expenditures. We are excited about bringing these
solutions to the United States." Ingress noise causes cable
operators increased service calls and truck rolls, and is a serious
problem in the upstream spectrum of most CATV networks, causing
degradation of valuable available bandwidth and modem outages.
"Ingress noise is a problem in the cable industry that interferes
with the high value Data, Voice over IP, Video on Demand, and
Switched Digital Video services offered by many operators today,"
said Tom Williams, Vice President of Marketing and Business
Development for ARRIS TeleWire Supply. "As broadband service
delivery has increased in complexity, we are constantly seeking new
products and innovations to tackle the challenges our customers
face every day, and the TECHNETIX Ingress Safe(TM) technology fits
well into our philosophy. We look forward to embracing this
advanced solution as part of the Regal(R) line, which has a
broadband industry legacy of high quality and reliability." "The
Ingress Safe(TM) technology has shown a 4dB to 6dB improvement in
the carrier to noise ratio when deployed in fifty percent of the
subscriber drops in a node," said Rod Peery, President of TECHNETIX
Inc. "The ARRIS/TECHNETIX alliance is a win-win for the MSOs in
North America, combining a great technology with a highly respected
cable supplier - we are excited to share the value of this
relationship in the coming months." For more information on Regal
