SUWANEE, Ga., Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Globosat, a leading multichannel cable and satellite
TV programmer in Brazil, has
selected the CherryPicker® Application Platform CAP-1000 by ARRIS
Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRS) to deliver and monetize new
entertainment services. The ARRIS CAP-1000 features an advanced
IP-centric architecture designed to deliver today's multichannel
content experiences and scale to tomorrow's services.
Today's complex connected device ecosystem poses considerable
challenges to service providers looking to deliver the latest
multichannel entertainment experiences. With Brazilians consuming
nearly 20 hours of TV each week—according to the ARRIS Fourth
Annual Media Engagement Barometer—the CAP-1000 offers an effective
management and multiplexing solution for scaling new services to
meet that demand.
"Globosat delivers some of the best entertainment, news, and
content experiences to more than 40 million consumers in
Brazil," said Alexandre Torres, Technology Development Manager
at Globosat. "We're constantly innovating to give our consumers
personalized and immersive viewing experiences, and the ARRIS
CAP-1000 was a natural choice for meeting today's high- definition
demand, while allowing us to incorporate new content services, like
localized advertising, down the road."
"ARRIS powers smarter networks that transform the way that
service providers give consumers their media, their way—today and
in the future," said German
Iaryczower, Senior Vice President Sales, Caribbean and Latin
America, ARRIS. "Our CAP-1000 solution not only enables
Globosat to deliver the best possible viewing experience to its 40+
million viewers, but it allows it to capitalize on large
revenue-generating opportunities like localized ad insertion."
About Globosat
In 1991, Brazil gained a new concept in entertainment,
information and leisure. The Canais Globosat Network, the first pay
television programmer in the country, launched in November of that
year its four pioneering channels: Telecine, Top Sport, GNT and
Multishow. It was the beginning of a new era of TV programming in
Brazil. Four years later, in 1995,
the Network began to expand. Top Sport was renamed SporTV, and four
more channels were created: Globo News, USA (which in 2004 became the Universal
Channel), Shoptime and Canal Brasil. Telecine grew to be a
five-channel network itself. Today, with 33 channels and over 1,800
employees, Globosat leads the Brazilian Pay-TV market. Its audience
comprises 46 million viewers distributed among more than 15 million
households in the country.
