SUWANEE, Ga., July 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS
International plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) today announced that Mediacom
Communications Corporation, the fifth-largest cable operator in the
U.S., selected the hosted version of its Carrier-Class Service
Provider Wi-Fi Solution to deliver Wi-Fi and advanced services
beyond the home in multiple cities.
The hosted solution leverages Mediacom's existing wireless
infrastructure to deliver new public Wi-Fi services quickly and at
scale, without requiring large, upfront capital expenditures. It
integrates all of Mediacom's wireless assets into a single,
centrally managed Wi-Fi network—offering subscribers the
convenience of single sign-on Wi-Fi roaming within Mediacom's
footprint, and potentially even beyond. The system allows guests to
sign on to the network using a simple text-based sign-in. The ARRIS
Carrier Class Service Provider Wi-Fi Solution also gives Mediacom a
platform that can quickly capitalize on new service opportunities
that arise in small-medium business, hospitality, education, venue
and other vertical markets.
"ARRIS's Wi-Fi technology and expertise is enabling us to
address the demand for carrier-grade wireless services in our key
markets," said JR Walden, SVP Technology, CTO, Mediacom. "By
hosting this solution for us, ARRIS is giving Mediacom the freedom
to scale to new customers and services at our own pace, without
having to make big investments in new infrastructure."
"Our collaboration with Mediacom is facilitating a new era of
growth by building strategically on top of their existing network
to broaden their Wi-Fi service offerings," said Dan Whalen, President, Network & Cloud,
ARRIS. "This deployment showcases premium wireless Access Point
technology by Ruckus as well as the advantage of ARRIS's hosted
solutions in minimizing capital expenditures while accelerating
time-to-market with new services. Our partnership combines
Mediacom's networks and our technology to allow Mediacom to extend
its influence beyond traditional markets and support new
verticals."
Mediacom will have access to highly reliable, carrier-grade
products delivered by ARRIS's partners, including Ruckus, Aptilo
Networks, and Benu Networks. The ARRIS Carrier-Class Service
Provider Wi-Fi Solution is available worldwide and provides a
profitable, low capital-investment entry point for operators to
efficiently add new Wi-Fi services to their offerings.
