SUWANEE, Ga., May 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Caribbean and
Latin American service providers will soon have access to a new
set-top designed to specifically meet growing consumer demand for
high-definition programming and high-bandwidth advanced
applications within this region. The ARRIS Group,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ARRS) DCX525e will bring a variety of
two-way communication capabilities into the home environment
providing a flexible and future oriented entertainment
platform.
The ARRIS DCX525e is twice as fast as earlier models in its
class, contains five times more memory and features embedded
security. In addition to immediately providing high-definition
video, digital sound and on-demand and interactive services, the
software-programmable DCX525e has the capability to be converted to
an IP set-top in the future.
The DCX525e employs an advanced design that packs significant
upgrades into an even more compact housing; measuring just 5.5 in W
x 3.6 in D x 1.4 in H.
"In developing the DXC525e we incorporated key technologies from
many years of set-top design experience," said Larry Robinson, President, Customer Premises
Equipment, ARRIS. "We're already seeing strong interest from large
service providers in Caribbean and
Latin American markets. These operators are working to meet
subscribers' demands for the entertainment delivery capabilities
that consumers all over the world want. We're committed to helping
these service providers meet this growing demand."
Through support of MPEG-4 decode technologies, the ARRIS DCX525e
allows operators to efficiently and cost-effectively utilize
limited bandwidth to deliver HD programming and high-bandwidth
applications. The DCX525e is capable of decoding MPEG-4 video
streams, requiring significantly less bandwidth than MPEG-2 to
deliver comparable quality video services. It also supports
Switched Digital Video (SDV) solutions, allowing service providers
to maximize the use of their available bandwidth by delivering
programming only to nodes where and when subscribers actively
request that particular program.
The ARRIS DCX525e also utilizes a client compatible with both
the ARRIS SmartStream Terminal Data Collector (STDC) and the
ARRIS ServAssure ALOHA Collector for remotely gathering important
set-top status and health information in a centralized server for
evaluation and corrective action. STDC provides operators with the
ability to isolate and troubleshoot plant issues, improve service
quality, and reduce operational costs.
