Innovative DOCSIS Control Interface EPON Solution Provides
Standards-Based Interoperability SUWANEE, Ga., Oct. 23
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) today announced the
unveiling of its new DOCSIS Control Interface for subscriber
service provisioning and system management on EPON (Ethernet
Passive Optical Network) networks. A live demonstration, presented
jointly with Incognito Software and Teknovus, will be held at the
ARRIS booth (#7108) at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2009 in Denver,
October 28-30. Together with ARRIS's FTTMax(TM) EPON OLT and ONU
equipment, the DOCSIS Control Interface enables cable operators to
seamlessly deploy symmetrical EPON for business services with their
existing DOCSIS provisioning system, instead of creating separate
back office functions. The demonstration will showcase
interoperability of the ARRIS DOCSIS Control Interface, with
Incognito Software's Broadband Command Center, a key product in the
DOCSIS device provisioning space. In turn, the ARRIS DOCSIS Control
Interface incorporates middleware from Teknovus, a leading provider
of EPON chips for the FTTx market. "With the successful integration
of our DOCSIS Control Interface with the Broadband Command Center
for EPON deployment, we are able to successfully provision EPON
devices in our cost-effective Converged Head-end Platform," said
ARRIS Access & Transport VP and GM Peter Wolff. "This new
functionality will enable cable operators to efficiently serve
their customers through an FTTMax(TM) Gigabit EPON network."
"Interoperability is an important issue for our customers, many of
whom are working with DOCSIS technologies but need to run other
services over fiber," said Stephane Bourque, President and CEO of
Incognito Software. "This demonstration shows that we are able to
connect EPON solutions from multiple vendors using existing
equipment and software. All of the solutions used in the
demonstration are readily available today on the open market."
"Teknovus is pleased to be working with ARRIS and Incognito to help
cable operators compete in the fiber environment without the need
for new provisioning software or special training for operations
and technical personnel," said Paul Runcy, Director of the Americas
at Teknovus. "This collaboration will provide our customers with a
robust and interoperable turn-key solution to roll out new services
and compete effectively in the telecommunications market." About
