SUWANEE, Ga. and SAN JOSE, Calif., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) and Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) unveiled Tuesday
their joint proposal for the technical criteria supporting
multi-wavelength optical networks at the SCTE technical committee.
With the wide variety of solutions being offered across the
supplier community, ARRIS and Cisco believe these technical
criteria will help ensure that operators will receive robust,
reliable and cost effective system solutions. The solutions being
offered by both companies will help enable expanded optical
transport capacity for existing HFC networks or within Greenfield
deployments. More information on these systems is available at
their respective booths (ARRIS: 2050 and Cisco: 550) at the SCTE
Cable-Tec Expo. "This collaboration demonstrates the industry
coming together to work toward a common goal of standardization. By
identifying the limitations and common solutions for
multi-wavelength transmission, we are improving cost efficiencies
and paving the way for interoperability," said Mark Palazzo, vice
president, general manager, Cisco Access Networks. "With so many
parts involved, standardization helps us achieve commonality,
fueling the continued growth and evolution of the industry." "We
are hoping to generate open standards-based products and solutions
that support cable as it competes with telco and satellite
providers," said John Caezza, President of ARRIS Access, Transport
& Supplies. "When vendors work together to lower the costs of
technology and speed its time-to-market, then the entire industry
wins." About ARRIS ARRIS is a global communications technology
