Knology Selects ARRIS for New Florida Voice Deployment DULUTH, Ga.,
May 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS today announced that West
Point, GA-based Broadband Service Provider Knology has selected the
Cornerstone(R) Voice system and will begin deploying telephony
services in its newly-acquired Florida market (272,000 Homes
Passed). Knology is also evaluating the integrated voice solution
of ARRIS Cadant(R) CMTS', and Touchstone(TM) E-MTAs, along with the
PacketCable(TM)-based Line Control Signaling (LCS) Nuera RDT-8G
Gateway. Knology has been using ARRIS Cornerstone Host Digital
Terminals (HDTs) and Voice Ports(R) exclusively to provide
primary-line residential voice service to its customers for several
years. It recently purchased the Pinellas County franchises from
Verizon Media Ventures (Americast). "We selected the ARRIS solution
because it affords us the ability to easily migrate to a
PacketCable-based technology when the time comes to make that
transition," said Knology's Andy Sivell, Vice President, Network
Operations. "Furthermore, we are getting a solution that we know
will work, due to the rigorous interoperability testing ARRIS and
its partners have continuously demonstrated and reliably deployed."
"We are excited about being selected to provide Knology's Pinellas
County customers with voice services," said ARRIS Broadband
President Jim Lakin. "This new deployment expands on an excellent
long-term relationship with one of the industry's most innovative
MSOs." About ARRIS ARRIS provides broadband local access networks
