SUWANEE, Ga., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS
(Nasdaq: ARRS) announced today that for the second year in a row,
it has been awarded highest honors in Cable & Satellite
International Magazine's 2010 Awards in the Best Fiber
Distribution/Transport Solution category with its CORWave Dual
Density (CORWave DW) 1 GHz multi-wavelength forward
transmitter.
CORWave DW brings cable operators an immediate 50% reduction in
physical footprint for forward transmission by encapsulating two
transmitters in one single wide application module, along with
providing up to 8 wavelengths over distances of up to 40 km.
CORWave DW is also among the most energy-efficient forward
transmitter solutions on the market, consuming 7 watts per
transmitter.
CORWave DW addresses cable operators' concerns over facility
constraints such as power budgets, air conditioning and floor
space, and reduces environmental impact with an immediate 50%
decrease in the number of physical devices needed for forward path
transmission while only consuming 7 watts per transmitter.
Its simplified operation means there is less head end
'plumbing' and easier module management. Its multi-wavelength plan
allows fiber reclamation; leveraging existing fiber infrastructure
without new fiber construction.
"The CORWave DW solution maintains our leadership role in
multi-wavelength fiber re-use solutions," said ARRIS Access &
Transport President John Caezza.
"Cable operators are looking to optimize their Total Cost of
Ownership and reduce system complexity. Receiving this prestigious
award again proves that ARRIS has been listening carefully and is
continuing to deliver value-based solutions in a cost-effective and
elegant manner."
