SUWANEE, Ga., May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — ARRIS announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Comcast, the nation’s leading provider of entertainment, information and communications products and services, for the purchase of the latest generation of C4(R) Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) chassis from ARRIS.
The DOCSIS 3.0 C4 CMTS enhances the existing hybrid-fiber coax infrastructure to deliver higher Internet connection speeds of up to 160 Mbps using channel bonding technology. A graceful enhancement process allows the cost-effective introduction of this major technology upgrade to the existing installed base of C4 CMTS, and greatly increases the overall capacity of the platform. The technology provides the service operator greater flexibility in being able to provision upstream and downstream capacity independently, providing the ability to tune each configuration to the traffic patterns of the network. ARRIS’ ongoing commitment to industry standards means other features such as extended address management are also provided.
“Comcast continues to be an integral part of our planning process and we are excited to receive this initial order from them,” said ARRIS Chairman and CEO Bob Stanzione. “The increased speeds and capabilities provided by DOCSIS 3.0 will change the way people use the Internet, providing a network capable of delivering personalized content anytime, anywhere.”
