SUWANEE, Ga., June 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's mobile, on-demand culture of communications and entertainment across multiple screens is significantly impacting cable operators' network design and subscriber experience needs. ARRIS (Nasdaq: ARRS) will demonstrate its superior capability to address those needs in its booth #1415 and in "The Park" at NCTA's The Cable Show in Chicago, June 14-16, 2011.

ARRIS will showcase how it makes next-generation network distribution and communications easy for cable operators by supplying significantly increased capacity and a seamless migration path between legacy service delivery and next-generation IP networks. Live demonstrations include:

  • Industry-leading DOCSIS® 3.0 broadband solutions designed to support tomorrow's IP video networks while providing a superior customer experience today, including:
    • The C4® CMTS -- delivering significantly more bandwidth through the new double-density XD CAM downstream card and 24U CAM upstream card with IPv6 capabilities http://www.arrisi.com/get/c4/; and
    • The ARRIS Touchstone® customer premises equipment (CPE) portfolio for in-home voice and data services, offering the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) available in the industry.
  • The ARRIS Whole Home Solution, which replaces traditional cable set-top boxes with a centralized gateway and multiple IP Clients. The Gateway is a triple-play device, providing HSD and lifeline voice as well as linear and on-demand video services. The Gateway uses open standards – DLNA and DTCP-IP – over MoCA, Ethernet and Wi-Fi®, to deliver content within the home and to consumer electronics devices and PCs http://www.arrisi.com/get/whole_home/.
  • The ConvergeMedia™ Unified Video Delivery Platform and three-screen vision which delivers more convenience, bandwidth and applications to any device at any time for a better subscriber experience http://www.arrisi.com/get/convergemedia/.  

In addition, virtual interactive stations will demonstrate how ARRIS opens up new revenue streams and lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for operators as they migrate their networks to an all-IP model, including:

  • Access and transport solutions such as the 1 GHz-capable CHP CORWave™ Dual Density Forward Transmitter, which reduces the physical footprint and power consumption by 50% while preserving fiber assets.  Also, a portfolio of EPON and RFoG solutions that support the evolution of today's Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) networks for high speed business data solutions and passive optical networks.
  • The VIPr™ 4000 Advanced Video Processing platform, a second-generation video transcoder capable of generating live multi-screen video output through adaptive bit rate streaming as well as transcoding capabilities for both ATSC and DVB.
  • ServAssure™ network monitoring and WorkAssure™ remote workforce assurance solutions that simplify the delivery and management of complex services while driving down operational costs.
  • ARRIS Wi-Fi solutions – a suite of advanced indoor and outdoor wireless solutions with patented, state-of-the-art technology designed for cable business services, hospitality and residential opportunities available through a recent agreement with Ruckus Wireless.
  • Linear and advanced advertising solutions, which are based on the latest digital video services so operators can capitalize on new revenue streams at the lowest TCO.
  • The ARRIS Fixed Mobile Convergence solution with a real-time demonstration of converged voice and data services on Android™ based handsets featuring the ARRIS Convergence Client for Android. The demo includes seamless roaming and handover of mobile services between cellular networks and the local Wi-Fi network as well as presence-based simultaneous ring.
