SUWANEE, Ga., March 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
telecommunications company Altice selected the E6000™ Converged
Edge Router (CER) from ARRIS International, plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) to
enable the delivery of gigabit Internet services to its
subscribers.
Altice will deploy the ARRIS E6000 CER with SFR in France and Orange-Tricom in The Dominican Republic, and it will expand the
E6000 CER footprint in its recently acquired US property,
Suddenlink Communications.
The deployments expand the sizeable list of global service
providers that have chosen the ARRIS E6000 CER on their journey to
offering gigabit-speed services. The market-leading E6000 CER

operational savings in terms of rack-space real estate, power
consumption and cooling requirements.
"Altice is fast-becoming a major player in the global pay TV
market, and it's an exciting time for ARRIS to be collaborating
with operators from the Altice Group around the world. Selecting
the ARRIS E6000 CER is a strategic technology investment for Altice
that benefits its global operations today and into the future,"
said Bruce McClelland, President of
Network & Cloud, Global Services at ARRIS. "These deployments
further cement the ARRIS E6000 CER as the leading CCAP solution for
operators who want the best technology to meet the crucial demand
for higher broadband speeds as more and more devices become
connected in the home."
"Working with ARRIS assures us from both a technological and
operational perspective as the ARRIS E6000 CER is a proven, global
platform with a clear roadmap for the future," said Max Blumberg, CTO of Altice. "We look forward to
deploying the platform across the Altice properties as we strive to
