PR Newswire (US)
CORWave Enables MSOs to Leverage Existing HFC for Business
Services, HD-On-Demand and SDV SUWANEE, Ga., April 10
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) today announced the
availability of its 1 GHz CHP CORWave 'closely spaced' CWDM
downstream optics. CORWave enables the essential delivery of HD
SDV, On Demand and business services on existing MSO fiber networks
with superior quality service levels. CORWave was recently
certified by a top 3 U.S. cable operator and is scheduled to be
deployed by them this quarter. CORWave is an extension of the
broadly-deployed, field proven CHP CWDM optics that deliver more
capacity over longer-link distances on existing fiber. When
deployed with the ARRIS OptiMax4100 4x4 segmentable nodes, CORWave
enables simple, robust multiplexing of twelve wavelengths: four
forward, four return and four bidirectional all on one fiber with a
link length of up to 25 kilometers. The bidirectional wavelengths
are ideally suited for business service applications. When deployed
with any of the ARRIS OptiMax segmentable nodes in a 2x2
configuration, CORWave enables longer link lengths of up to 30
kilometers. Furthermore, the technology allows operators the
flexibility to select the most cost-efficient solution for their
system while recovering fiber for other revenue-generating
services. The CORWave product can be deployed by operators with
minimal disruption to consumers without sacrificing their
consumers' quality of service. "Our customers are very clear; their
top two priorities are pulling more capacity from existing
infrastructure and tapping into commercial businesses opportunities
without new infrastructure," said John Caezza, President, ARRIS
Access, Transport and Supplies. "We built CORWave so that it can
expand existing fiber capacity up to 400% both up and downstream,
and deliver GbE based data services on very limited fiber counts."
"ARRIS has over a decade of experience in the design and deployment
of multi-wavelength systems and more than 15,000 CHP optical
multi-wavelength transmitters deployed since mid 2006," Caezza
further stated. "This field-proven expertise helps ensure an
efficient, robust and reliable solution for network service
providers." Forward-looking statements: Certain information and
