SUWANEE, Ga., June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS
International plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) today announced its
support for the RDK software stack across its next-generation EPON
gateways. RDK support will offer several key benefits to ARRIS's
global customers, including: a unified back-office system for
managing both fiber and DOCSIS architectures, simplified network
provisioning, carrier-grade management features, and full
integration with the ARRIS HomeAssure™ solution.
"RDK is important to ARRIS, as we continue providing
best-in-class software options for our global customer base. ARRIS
has been a pioneer in RDK from the beginning—and today, we're proud
to extend that leadership by supporting RDK in EPON gateways," said
Larry Robinson, President, CPE,
ARRIS. "This decision aligns with our vision to provide a unified
operations and management platform to our service provider
customers who are delivering the future of Gigabit and Wi-Fi®."
"ARRIS's support of RDK for its global EPON gateways is a
testament to the continuous innovation of ARRIS and also
demonstrates the versatility of the RDK open-source software," said
Steve Heeb, President and General
Manager of RDK Management, LLC. "As service providers around
the globe look to deploy fiber gateways, RDK provides a common
method to manage core functionality, including home networking, IoT
interfaces, device management, real time diagnostics, and
more."
ARRIS continues to lead the development and deployment of RDK
gateways around the world. It recently completed the first RDK EPON
gateway deployment in the US with a tier-one operator, and has made
high-volume RDK deployments on multiple DOCSIS 3.0/3.1 gateways.
Today's announcement further reinforces ARRIS's market-leading
position and breadth of offering in broadband gateways.
ARRIS is now building RDK support into the EPON version of its
flexible NVG578 PON gateway platform. This next-generation gateway
offers a pathway to Gigabit broadband and whole-home Wi-Fi
(dual-/tri-band 802.11ac and 802.11ax), with optional IoT support.
