PR Newswire (US)
SUWANEE, Ga., March 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS
(NASDAQ:ARRS) today announced that Japan Cablenet Limited, the
nation's second largest cable operator, will begin wide-scale
deployment of its 160 Mbps Super High Speed Data service, called
"Speed Star 160", across its cable system footprint, beginning at
its JCN Koala Katsushika site this month. The "Speed Star 160"
rollout is especially significant in that it incorporates what is
believed to be the industry's first deployed service using Upstream
Channel Bonding technology, which greatly enhances data rates. This
technology not only greatly increases data throughput speeds to
customers, but also ensures greater network reliability through
noise reduction. Japan Cablenet selected the ARRIS Cable Modem
Termination System solution in 2009 to deliver ultra-fast wideband
data service to its customers. The ARRIS CMTS solution consists of
the DOCSIS 3.0-qualified C4 CMTS and DOCSIS 3.0-certified WBM760C
wideband modems, capable of delivering data speeds up to 160 Mbps,
along with carrier-grade voice service. The technology is based on
the DOCSIS 3.0 standard that supports both Upstream and Downstream
channel bonding capabilities. The sale of the ARRIS I-CMTS solution
was conducted with the assistance of ARRIS Value-Added Resellers
Net One Systems and KDDI. "We are very excited to be the first
network in Japan, if not the world, to deploy Upstream Channel
Bonding for our High Speed Data customers," said JCN General
Manager of business planning department and DOCSIS3.0 project
manager, Hiroyoshi Takeyama. "This critical feature will make
activities like the sharing of family pictures, home movies or
other user-generated content a far more satisfying experience for
our subscribers. It is our mission to provide our customers with
the world's fastest, most secure and most reliable super high-speed
data service." "ARRIS was one of the innovators in the definition
of Channel Bonding during the creation of the DOCSIS 3.0
specification," said Bruce McClelland, President, ARRIS Broadband
Communications Systems. "Our C4 CMTS solution has been supporting
Downstream Channel Bonding in the field for some time and now, with
the expected changes in customer usage, we are very proud to be
delivering greater upstream speeds using Upstream Channel Bonding
for JCN. These technologies will permit JCN and other MSOs to
support anticipated bandwidth demands of the future." About Japan
