PR Newswire (US)
SUWANEE, Ga., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS),
one of the world's leading providers of telecommunications
technologies, and VECTOR, a European provider that specializes in
supplying broadband solutions for European broadband operators,
today announced that they are expanding their collaboration with
the addition of the ARRIS optical solutions to VECTOR's portfolio.
VECTOR has represented ARRIS as a value-added reseller in the areas
of DOCSIS-based high speed data and cable telephony for years, and
is now expanding the portfolio of ARRIS solutions it sells, with
the addition of the award winning ARRIS CHP Max(TM)5000 Converged
Headend Platform. The CHP Max5000 is one of the most advanced
Headend platforms available on the market, and enables operators to
tap into new revenue streams such as business services or deliver
more VOD, HD VOD and SDV without deploying any new fiber. Using the
CHP suite of products, MSOs can expand their existing fiber
capacity by up to 1600% in the downstream and upstream on as little
as one fiber. Combined with the ARRIS Opti Max(TM) segmentable node
product suite, it also provides an efficient and robust migration
path to 4X4 node segmentation in support of advanced services. The
CHP Max5000 and Opti Max node family support the award winning
ARRIS CORWave(TM) and CORWave II multi wavelength transmitters and
optical passives. CORWave platforms provide cable operators with
the ability to add new services such as RFoG and EPON over their
existing fiber infrastructure without changing their back office or
billing system interfaces. "We are very pleased to expand our long
standing relationship with ARRIS and are eager to win new
opportunities for this exciting new technology," said Marcin
Starzynski, Product Development Director at VECTOR. "The ARRIS CHP
Headend Platform is an ideal complement to our current access
network products and allows us to build next generation broadband
fiber infrastructure solutions for our growing European customer
base." "We are delighted to have VECTOR add our award-winning CHP
Headend platform to the array of solutions they offer their
European customers," said Peter Wolff, VP & GM of the ARRIS
Access, Transport and Supplies Group. "The platform brings a
cost-effective and architecturally elegant solution to operators
wishing to address new revenue stream segments such as business
services, VOD and Switched Digital." About ARRISARRIS is a global
