SUWANEE, Ga., July 22, 2014
/PRNewswire/ -- Comporium, a provider of voice, video,
data, wireless and security solutions to parts of North and
South Carolina, has begun
migrating its ARRIS (Nasdaq:ARRS)-based network to the ARRIS
E6000 Converged Edge Router (CER). Built originally on ARRIS's C4
cable modem termination systems (CMTS), the Comporium Hybrid
Fiber-Coaxial (HFC) network will enable delivery of higher
bandwidths and faster speeds as the transition to the E6000 CER
Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) progresses.
With the E6000 CER, Comporium can satisfy the growing subscriber
demand for more advanced services delivered to more connected
devices. At the same time, the E6000 CER provides Comporium an
unprecedented 1,000+ downstream channel capacity per chassis,
significantly decreasing the cost per channel.
While the E6000 CER is the latest generation of network
solutions from ARRIS, it brings with it a maturity and stability
based on many years of ARRIS C4 CMTS deployment experience. Already
today, the E6000 CER provides services to millions of subscribers
around the world.
"Our customers expect advanced services and reliability," said
Mike Deller, Vice President of
Engineering and Planning, Comporium. "Over the years, we've found
that ARRIS technology is architected to deliver compelling new
services and reliability with a lower total cost of
ownership."
"Comporium has always been forward-thinking about technology and
how it can benefit their subscribers," said Bruce McClelland, President of Network &
Cloud and Global Services, ARRIS. "With Comporium's investment
in the ARRIS E6000 CER we're continuing a successful partnership
that ARRIS takes great pride in. We're looking forward to
playing a part in Comporium's ongoing success."
The E6000 CER provides a high-availability, high-performance
solution with unmatched scalability. It supports a fully redundant
design with no single point of failure. All elements of the E6000
CER are redundant, either N+1 or 1+1, and all are carrier class,
hot-swappable. Software fixes can be applied without impacting
service to subscribers.
