ARRS Arris International Plc - Ordinary Shares

SUWANEE, Ga., Dec. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARRS), today announced that its C4(R) CMTS has received DOCSIS 3.0 "Bronze" qualification in CableLabs' Certification Wave 56. "This certification wave is a tremendous milestone for ARRIS and the cable industry, and a culmination of several years of effort on the part of cable operators and suppliers," said Bruce McClelland, President, ARRIS Broadband Communications Group. "The many features enabled by DOCSIS 3.0 functionality within the C4 CMTS provide cable with a differentiation over Telco and satellite competitors. ARRIS is delighted to be among the first to achieve DOCSIS 3.0 certification." "ARRIS is proud to add early DOCSIS 3.0 certification to our list of achievements," said ARRIS Chief Strategy Officer Tom Cloonan. "This honor marks the beginning of a new era for DOCSIS services. Through the use of DOCSIS 3.0 Channel bonding, MSOs can deploy wideband at lower cost per subscriber. As a result, many new applications will emerge that capitalize on the 160 Mbps or higher bandwidths enabled by combining more than one DOCSIS channel. The inherent flexibility of the powerful C4 CMTS architecture allowed ARRIS to be successful in CW56, and we are well down the planning stages for MSOs to begin deploying new DOCSIS 3.0 services and applications."
