SUWANEE, Ga., Oct. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS Group
Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRS) today announced its first DOCSIS® 3.1 modems
for operators and retailers—leading the way for gigabit speeds in
the home. These devices complement ARRIS's globally deployed DOCSIS
3.1 network portfolio as well as the company's unmatched expertise
in the DOCSIS 3.1 standard, which it helped pioneer.
ARRIS's new DOCSIS 3.1 devices include a dedicated cable modem
for operators and a retail cable modem:
- Touchstone CM8200 – This ultra-fast DOCSIS 3.1 modem
delivers unprecedented data rates of more than 5 Gbps downstream
and 2 Gbps upstream. Switchable filters with full 204MHz upstream
and 1218MHz downstream support reliable gigabit performance, while
reducing interference in the home network.
- SURFboard® SB8200 Cable Modem – This modem offers the
same DOCSIS 3.1 performance and features as the CM8200, but is
intended for retail customers, who can take advantage of its 32x8
QAM channel bonding capabilities on DOCSIS 3.0 cable systems.
"DOCSIS 3.1 is the solution for delivering tomorrow's gigabit
speeds on today's networks, and ARRIS is in a unique position to
bring this technology to market in scale," said Larry
Robinson, President, Customer Premises Equipment at ARRIS. "We
have a legacy of DOCSIS leadership—from our pioneering work in
developing the standard itself to deploying DOCSIS-based network
solutions around the world and delivering a full suite of
compatible CPE to operators and retailers alike. Our new line of
DOCSIS 3.1 devices extends our industry leadership, making ARRIS
the obvious choice for future-proofing investments in cable
networking and delivering on the full promise of gigabit."
The Touchstone CM8200 and SURFboard SB8200 modems will be on
display in ARRIS's booth (#551) at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo between
October 14-16, 2015 and become
available in 2016. ARRIS also will expand the line in 2016 to
include Telephony Modems and additional Voice and Data
Gateways.
