SUWANEE, Ga., July 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRS) announced that Service Electric Cable TV and
Communications selected ARRIS for their new SE NEXT Entertainment
Platform. Consisting of the ARRIS Whole Home Solution with an
available MS4000™ Media Streamer, Service Electric now enables
their subscribers throughout Pennsylvania and New
Jersey the ability to stream live and recorded content
throughout the home and on the go.
The ARRIS Whole Home Solution includes a family of Media Gateway
and Player products, offering Service Electric's customers a
centralized gateway that provides simultaneous use of feature-rich
video and telephony services, 6-tuner HD multi-room DVR, Wi-Fi®,
DOCSIS® 3.0 data rates, and media-sharing capabilities available
through an intuitive user interface.
Service Electric customers with the ARRIS Whole Home Solution
will also have the ability to purchase and add the ARRIS MS4000™
Media Streamer to their entertainment system. Powered by Sling
Media's award-winning place-shifting technology, the MS4000 is
technologically advanced enough to stream live TV and DVR content
to subscribers' mobile devices anywhere they may be, yet simple
enough to set-up in the home that a subscriber can quickly do so
without assistance.

percent of US/Canadian consumers enjoy streaming content at least
once a week and that 48 percent would be interested in a service
that allowed them to watch TV on any device in any location. By
enabling in-home and remote streaming to mobile devices, the ARRIS
Whole Home Solution and MS4000 lets Service Electric's subscribers
enjoy their media, their way.
