SUWANEE, Ga., March 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS
International plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) today announced that China
Network Systems (CNS), one of Taiwan's leading cable operators, has selected
ARRIS HMC4100 set-tops, with the ARRIS KreaTV application platform,
to further enhance its digital video services.
Taiwanese government regulations require all cable operators to
digitize their TV services by the end of 2017. The ARRIS HMC4100 is
a hybrid DVB-C set-top that enables CNS to fully digitize its
services and offer new high-definition (HD) on-demand, local PVR
and streaming video services to subscribers in Taiwan. Also,
the set-top includes a DOCSIS 3.0 modem which enables CNS to
simplify install and add two-way interactive applications to its
digital TV service.
CNS will begin rolling out the new HMC4100 set-tops in
March 2017. ARRIS and CNS have a
long- standing relationship spanning both consumer devices and
network solutions, including ARRIS's CCAP solution - the
E6000® Converged Edge Router. CNS has deployed ARRIS HMC
series set-tops with the ARRIS KreaTV Application platform since
2013.
"As the industry moves to fully digitize TV services by the end
of this year, our customers are expecting improved viewing
experiences such as high-definition and streaming video," said
Henry Chang, CEO of CNS. "We are
partnering with ARRIS to deliver compelling experiences today while
catering to the evolving viewing habits of our subscribers. With
the ARRIS KreaTV platform, we have flexibility to rapidly develop
new applications for the future."

Pacific Sales, ARRIS. "The ARRIS HMC4100 adds DOCSIS 3.0
