SUWANEE, Ga., Feb. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS
International plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) today announced that a wide
range of global operators have deployed the second-generation (Gen
2) modules for its E6000® Converged Edge Router (CER) CCAP™
platform.
The E6000 CER is already the world's most widely deployed CCAP
platform. The Gen 2 modules – which ARRIS announced in October 2017 – enable customers to upgrade
existing chassis to achieve up to a 70 percent increase in headend
service group density without consuming more rack space. Operators
worldwide can immediately deliver multi-Gigabit broadband services
and evolve to full end-to-end IP video services. Additionally, the
ARRIS Gen 2 modules provide a software-based headend upgrade path
to the Remote PHY Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) – for
more than a three-fold Service Group density increase within
the same rack-space footprint.
"ARRIS has a deep understanding of the constant demands our
customers face to meet ever-increasing bandwidth, infrastructure
and efficiency requirements," said Dan Whalen, ARRIS
President, Network & Cloud. "We worked hand-in-hand with the
world's leading operators to develop the ARRIS E6000 Gen 2 modules,
and subsequently deploy them in both large and small-scale network
environments to facilitate this global rollout."
ARRIS E6000 Gen 2 modules enable global operators of all sizes
to achieve both cost savings and capacity upgrades from their HFC
access networks, regardless of network composition and scale – and
leverage their existing investments to deliver the future of
broadband and video. To learn more, visit the E6000 product
