PR Newswire (US)
SUWANEE, Ga.. Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS
(NASDAQ:ARRS) announced today that its CORWave II multi-wavelength
solution has been awarded highest honors in Cable & Satellite
International Magazine's 2009 Awards in the Best Fiber
Distribution/Transport Solution category. The CORWave II
multi-wavelength optical solution further enhances the established
CORWave platform, adding more wavelengths and greater distances in
HFC systems around the world. By combining broadcast and narrowcast
traffic on a single wavelength, and carrying up to sixteen of these
wavelengths on a single fiber, CORWave II offers operators a robust
full spectrum solution that eliminates constraints on narrowcast
bandwidth. CORWave II facilitates node segmentation, hub
consolidation, and network extensions to remote towns, allowing
cable operators to reduce operating costs, reduce service group
sizes and provide higher bandwidth services to more customers.
According to CSI Award judge Dr. Roger Blakeway, President of the
SCTE, U.K.: "The ARRIS CORWave II solution exhibited several key
differentiators: among them: innovation, industry acceptance, and
demonstrably solving a specific real-world problem - the resolution
of segmentation issues for the easy deployment of high bandwidth
services." "The CORWave II solution puts us in a leadership role in
multi wavelength fiber re-use solutions," said ARRIS Access &
Transport President John Caezza. "Cable operators have asked us for
greater reach and better narrowcast capacity solutions, and
receiving this prestigious award further validates the fact that we
have been listening carefully to them and have delivered the kind
of solution they desire in a cost-effective and elegant manner."
