SUWANEE, Ga., Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS
International plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) and Luxembourg's cable incumbent, Eltrona, have
joined forces to launch the first ultra-high-speed 1GBps broadband
service in Luxembourg.
The Eltrona network uses ARRIS R-PHY Distributed Access
Architecture (DAA) technology to full advantage of DOCSIS® 3.1. By
virtualizing and decentralizing its network's headend functions,
Eltrona can achieve greater network capacity and higher network
speeds.
Eltrona selected the ARRIS E6000® CCAP, E6000® Core, R-PHY
shelf, and TG3442 Wireless Telephony Gateways to complete the
DOCSIS 3.1 network between its CMTS (cable modem termination
system) and subscribers' premises. Eltrona's 1Gbps residential
service is now the fastest in Luxembourg. The upgraded delivery network also
enables Eltrona to backhaul mobile data in preparation for 5G
rollouts across the region.
The deployment marks the latest milestone for ARRIS in a series
of important DAA and DOCSIS 3.1 rollouts around the world.
Continued large-scale deployments of its popular E6000 platform and
DAA capabilities highlight ARRIS's global expertise and unmatched
range of capabilities, from headend, network and residential
technology to professional services and support.
"Our work with ARRIS completely transformed our network. Eltrona
is proud to be the first operator in Luxembourg to offer gigabit residential
broadband service," said Paul
Denzle, CEO, Eltrona. "We implemented ARRIS solutions across our
entire network to take full advantage of our existing investments
while building the capacity and flexibility to deliver a new crop
of data-intensive services, including 5G. Our new network is not
only more efficient, it's also faster and ready for the
future."
"Eltrona and ARRIS have enjoyed a long-standing partnership
providing the best cable broadband services to Luxembourg," said Dan
Whalen, President, Network & Cloud, ARRIS. "Our latest
deployment enables Eltrona to realize the benefits of DOCSIS 3.1
and DAA while building on its leadership position with new gigabit
services. Together, we've ensured that Eltrona continues to stay at
the forefront of Luxembourg's
broadband market."
About ARRIS DOCSIS 3.1 Technology and Services
ARRIS
Network technology and Consumer Premises Equipment (CPE) underpin
every component of this important deployment. In addition to
increasing network capacity, the configuration enables Eltrona to
immediately leverage new network efficiencies, lower operational
costs and deliver gigabit services.
ARRIS technology powering the network includes:
- E6000® Gen 2 Platform – the world's most widely deployed
CCAP platform, delivering market leading density and throughput
without consuming additional rack space
- E6000N REMOTE PHY – ARRIS provides both the CCAP Core
and Remote PHY Device (RPD) defined in the CableLabs® Modular
Headend Architecture (MHAv2). In this approach, the PHY layer is
moved from the CCAP into a node or remote shelf, but the MAC
processing, provisioning, and monitoring functions remain in the
headend
- Touchstone® TG3442 Cable Voice Gateway – this ARRIS
DOCSIS® 3.1 Gateway allows multi-gigabit data rates to be delivered
to cable service provider's home and small business customers. The
TG3442 with its 4x4 802.11ac Dual Band radios, offers superior
Wi-Fi performance enabling reliable Ultra HD video over Wi-Fi
