AMSTERDAM, Sept. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS Group
Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRS) announced that Telefonica selected its VIP1113
set-top to deliver next-generation IPTV services—including HDTV, TV
everywhere, on-demand, and OTT services—to its Movistar+ TV
customers.
Movistar+ is already deploying the VIP1113 to expand services
across its growing customer base.
The ARRIS VIP1113 plays a strategic role in fueling Movistar+'s
next stage of growth. To keep pace with consumers' increasing
content demands, it features over 50% more processing capacity than
Movistar+'s current set-tops and provides 1GB of memory—all in a
sleek, attractive case. It will serve as the foundation for
tomorrow's IPTV services.
"We're excited to have a strategic partnership with one of
Europe's largest operators. We're
collaborating closely with Telefonica to get ahead of the strong
growth in consumer demand for their content, their way. Our work to
deploy the VIP1113 is paving the way for the IPTV revolution and
positioning Telefonica as a leader in tomorrow's IPTV services,"
said Steve McCaffery, SVP of Sales
EMEA & APAC at ARRIS.
Pablo Guaglianone, Managing
Director of ARRIS in Spain, said,
"We are pleased to work with Telefonica in Spain. Interactive TV has much relevance; our
Consumer Entertainment Index shows that 77% of the connected people
in Spain regularly binge (watch
multiple episodes in one sitting) on television series and movies,
and the typical duration of these binges has grown to more than 3
hours in the region."
