ARRIS Announces the New CORWave(TM) Dual Density Multi Wavelength Forward Transmitter

SUWANEE, Ga., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (Nasdaq: ARRS) today announced the debut of the CORWave dual density forward transmitter (CORWave DW).  This new product is designed especially for operators with facility constraints who are planning to add new services, and it also provides the added benefit of very low power consumption. The CORWave DW features two transmitters in the space formerly occupied by a single transmitter.  The DW transmitter also utilizes CORWave multi wavelength technology to increase fiber capacity without increasing fiber infrastructure -- allowing rapid deployment of new revenue-generating services even in fiber-scarce plant.

"We designed the CORWave DW to address operational complexity and environmental issues," said Peter Wolff, ARRIS Access & Transport VP & GM.  "It immediately delivers a 50% decrease in the amount of required rack and floor space and has the lowest power consumption among comparable forward transmitters in the industry. By improving the density and sharing component resources, we are making our solutions more efficient while delivering the same high degree of performance.  Additionally, the freed-up chassis space can be used to generate new services through the addition of other application modules, like low noise return receivers for RFoG applications and EPON Optical Line Terminals for high speed data transmission."

Key CORWave DW features are:

• Up to 8 wavelengths in the O-Band optical spectrum
• Up to 40 km reach in an all-digital environment
• Fixed and variable outputs
• Flexible wavelength combinations
• Optimization for both analog and digital channel loading
• Backwards compatible with legacy CHP chassis
• Front and rear fiber connections
• Monitoring and /management by the CORView Element Management System

The ARRIS CORWave DW can be seen at Booth #639 at NCTA's The Cable Show 2010, May 11-13 in Los Angeles, CA.  It will be generally available later this year.
