AMSTERDAM, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- IBC 2018
-- ARRIS International plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) today
announced a number of high-profile customer wins from around the
world. These agreements follow ARRIS's renewed focus on
international growth. The company reported record-level
international shipments of 42% in Q2 of 2018 — a 35% increase over
the previous year.
Recent wins with HBO Latin America, Liberty Global in
Germany, Sky Italia and Stofa in Denmark underscore ARRIS's international
leadership in next-generation networks and entertainment
delivery.
Meanwhile, ARRIS continues to diversify its set-top portfolio
with the joint-development of new consumer entertainment solutions
with Freesat in the UK. ARRIS will be previewing a selection of
this technology at IBC in Amsterdam, September 13
-18 (Hall 1, Stand B19).
"We're gaining steady momentum in the international market by
responding quickly to the evolving needs of our service provider
customers and consumers around the world," said Steve McCaffery, President and Managing
Director, International Business Operations Group, ARRIS. "Our
customers appreciate the diversity of solutions that we offer, and
our latest design wins attest to our leadership and expertise in
helping them deliver tomorrow's entertainment and broadband
experiences."
At this year's IBC, ARRIS announced new agreements with leading
global service providers, including:
- Liberty Global – deployed the ARRIS E6000® Gen 2
platform to power its DOCSIS® 3.1 launch in Germany. The Gen 2 platform offers up to a 70
percent increase in headend service group density without consuming
more rack space, enabling cost savings and capacity upgrades for
HFC access networks. Liberty Global joins many of the world's
leading service providers in paving the way for Gigabit services
and next-gen Distributed Access Architectures with the ARRIS E6000
Gen 2.
- Sky Italia – will upgrade
its consumer set-tops to hybrid models from ARRIS to comply with
new European Commission energy efficiency regulations. The devices
also add HEVC encoding and 802.11ac Wi-Fi capabilities to the
consumer premises, enabling substantially higher quality video for
services like video-on-demand.
- Stofa – chose ARRIS vManager to accelerate its
deployment of Gigabit services across Denmark. vManager saves Stofa time and money
with the deployment by automating the provisioning of new nodes on
its network— securing, managing, and configuring the devices
accurately and much faster—saving Stofa both time and money.
ARRIS's further expanded set-top portfolio will combine linear,
OTT, on-demand, and app-based video technology for the
direct-to-consumer market in the UK:
- Freesat – selected ARRIS to develop its
first subscription-free, 4K UHD/HDR
video devices. Each of the four feature-packed devices can deliver
crystal-clear 4K satellite
TV, and may also stream OTT services like BBC iPlayer,
Netflix, and YouTube™. This agreement represents the first line of
ARRIS products for the UK retail channel. It's also the first
KreaTV device for DVB-S2. While these devices will be available in
UK retail outlets beginning in 2019, there are also plans to expand
into other markets across Europe.
