SUWANEE, Ga., June 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's mobile,
on-demand culture of communications and entertainment across
multiple screens is significantly impacting cable operators'
network design and subscriber experience needs. ARRIS
(Nasdaq: ARRS) will demonstrate its superior capability to address
those needs in its booth #1415 and in "The Park" at NCTA's The
Cable Show in Chicago,
June 14-16, 2011.
ARRIS will showcase how it makes next-generation network
distribution and communications easy for cable operators by
supplying significantly increased capacity and a seamless migration
path between legacy service delivery and next-generation IP
networks. Live demonstrations include:
- Industry-leading DOCSIS® 3.0 broadband solutions designed to
support tomorrow's IP video networks while providing a superior
customer experience today, including:
- The C4® CMTS -- delivering significantly more bandwidth through
the new double-density XD CAM downstream card and 24U CAM upstream
card with IPv6 capabilities http://www.arrisi.com/get/c4/; and
- The ARRIS Touchstone® customer premises equipment (CPE)
portfolio for in-home voice and data services, offering the lowest
total cost of ownership (TCO) available in the industry.
- The ARRIS Whole Home Solution, which replaces
traditional cable set-top boxes with a centralized gateway and
multiple IP Clients. The Gateway is a triple-play device, providing
HSD and lifeline voice as well as linear and on-demand video
services. The Gateway uses open standards – DLNA and DTCP-IP – over
MoCA, Ethernet and Wi-Fi®, to deliver content within the home and
to consumer electronics devices and PCs

- The ConvergeMedia™ Unified Video Delivery Platform and
three-screen vision which delivers more convenience, bandwidth and
applications to any device at any time for a better subscriber
experience http://www.arrisi.com/get/convergemedia/.
In addition, virtual interactive stations will demonstrate how
ARRIS opens up new revenue streams and lowers the Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) for operators as they migrate their networks to an
all-IP model, including:
- Access and transport solutions such as the 1 GHz-capable
CHP CORWave™ Dual Density Forward Transmitter, which reduces the
physical footprint and power consumption by 50% while preserving
fiber assets. Also, a portfolio of EPON and RFoG
solutions that support the evolution of today's Hybrid Fiber
Coax (HFC) networks for high speed business data solutions and
passive optical networks.
- The VIPr™ 4000 Advanced Video Processing platform, a
second-generation video transcoder capable of generating live
multi-screen video output through adaptive bit rate streaming as
well as transcoding capabilities for both ATSC and DVB.
- ServAssure™ network monitoring and WorkAssure™
remote workforce assurance solutions that simplify the delivery and
management of complex services while driving down operational
costs.
- ARRIS Wi-Fi solutions – a suite of advanced indoor and
outdoor wireless solutions with patented, state-of-the-art
technology designed for cable business services, hospitality and
residential opportunities available through a recent agreement with
Ruckus Wireless.
- Linear and advanced advertising solutions, which are
based on the latest digital video services so operators can
capitalize on new revenue streams at the lowest TCO.
- The ARRIS Fixed Mobile Convergence solution with a
real-time demonstration of converged voice and data services on
Android™ based handsets featuring the ARRIS Convergence Client for
Android. The demo includes seamless roaming and handover of
mobile services between cellular networks and the local Wi-Fi
network as well as presence-based simultaneous ring.
ARRIS experts will also outline how some of the above solutions
can be strategically applied to operators' individual architectures
during the following conference sessions:
- Carol Ansley, Jeff Brooks, Tom
Cloonan and Ken Wright,
session 20 "Packet Change: IP Video and Cable's Architectural
Evolution"
- Xavier Denis, session 30 "Hey
You, Get Onto My Cloud: Implications of New Delivery
Approaches"
- Mike Emmendorfer, session 18
"HFC-ing the Light: Advancements in Next-Gen Network
