SUWANEE, Ga., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --ARRIS Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ARRS) today announced its participation at this year's
Cable Congress to be held in Brussels,
Belgium, March 7-9,
2012. ARRIS will showcase its portfolio of next generation
cable edge architectural solutions, video processing, broadband
access and advanced advertising products at booth #41.
Additionally, ARRIS will present a live demonstration of how the
ARRIS D5® Universal Edge QAM can support DVB-C2 broadcast and VOD
solutions through a collaborative demonstration with German cable
operator Kabel Deutschland and Sony.
The demonstration will show how the ARRIS D5 Universal Edge QAM
has enabled Kabel Deutschland to cost-effectively implement QAM
sharing at one of the lowest power consumption rates per channel in
the industry. A Sony TV with integrated DVB-C2 tuner, one of
the first television sets supporting the standard, will be used in
this prototype demonstration shown at the ARRIS booth.
The DVB-C2 standard developed by the DVB Project uses the latest
modulation and coding techniques to enable highly efficient use of
cable networks, especially in cases where the downstream
transmission capacity is already being used to its limit. DVB-C2
will initially be used by operators like Kabel Deutschland for the
delivery of new services, such as video-on-demand (VOD) and high
definition television (HDTV).
ARRIS Group President Bruce
McClelland will speak on this year's CTO panel titled: 'More
Cable Services, Simply & Digitally Integrated', on Day 2,
Thursday March 8, Noon – 1:00PM, along with Balan
Nair, CTO Liberty Global;
Lorenz Glatz, CTO Kabel Deutschland and Nick Thexton, SVP R&D, NDS. The panel
session will examine ways in which cable can play a major role in
enabling a seamless converged and connected digital world.
