SUWANEE, Ga., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (Nasdaq:
ARRS) today announced the debut of the CORWave dual density forward
transmitter (CORWave DW). This new product is designed
especially for operators with facility constraints who are planning
to add new services, and it also provides the added benefit of very
low power consumption. The CORWave DW features two transmitters in
the space formerly occupied by a single transmitter. The DW
transmitter also utilizes CORWave multi wavelength technology to
increase fiber capacity without increasing fiber infrastructure --
allowing rapid deployment of new revenue-generating services even
in fiber-scarce plant.
"We designed the CORWave DW to address operational complexity
and environmental issues," said Peter
Wolff, ARRIS Access & Transport VP & GM. "It
immediately delivers a 50% decrease in the amount of required rack
and floor space and has the lowest power consumption among
comparable forward transmitters in the industry. By improving the
density and sharing component resources, we are making our
solutions more efficient while delivering the same high degree of
performance. Additionally, the freed-up chassis space can be
used to generate new services through the addition of other
application modules, like low noise return receivers for RFoG
applications and EPON Optical Line Terminals for high speed data
transmission."
Key CORWave DW features are:
- Up to 8 wavelengths in the O-Band optical spectrum
- Up to 40 km reach in an all-digital environment
- Fixed and variable outputs
- Flexible wavelength combinations
- Optimization for both analog and digital channel loading
- Backwards compatible with legacy CHP chassis
- Front and rear fiber connections
- Monitoring and /management by the CORView Element Management
System
The ARRIS CORWave DW can be seen at Booth #639 at NCTA's The
Cable Show 2010, May 11-13 in
Los Angeles, CA. It will be
generally available later this year.
