Meet bandwidth demands through unmatched CMTS efficiency, flexibility, quality, and performance
Cable operators require quality and reliability to compete in today’s voice and data arena. The ARRIS C4® CMTS enables these operators to offer world class performance for advanced, carrier-grade voice, high-speed data, and IPTV services. Highly-reliable C4 solutions reduce CAPEX with a highly economical cost-per-port and low operational cost. It reduces OPEX and improves ROI with a compact footprint, low power consumption, and minimal cooling requirements which allow the unit to be placed in existing head-ends and hubs without build out or additional infrastructure, extending head-end life and maximizing capital investment.
Designed for software upgrades of all active components, the C4 CMTS delivers a flexible solution that stays current with changing demand. It provides operators tremendous flexibility of configuration and ease of operation while providing best-in-class reliability.
Because the C4 CMTS offers full DOCSIS® 3.0 upstream and downstream services including channel bonding, operators can configure and deliver high-speed and new convergent services efficiently, bringing increased revenue per customer and improved market responsiveness. The C4 CMTS positions MSOs to operate more profitably and compete more effectively by satisfying subscriber and corporate demand for new services, higher speeds, and superior service quality.
The ARRIS C4® CMTS is a carrier-class DOCSIS® 3.0 CMTS. It allows an operator to cost effectively deploy DOCSIS, PacketCable™, DSG/ADSG, and PCMM™ services.
Its 99.999% system availability increases subscriber satisfaction and retention with a self healing design that maintains system services without interruption.
The ARRIS C4 CMTS supports DOCSIS 1.1/2.0/3.0 and PacketCable features, providing operators with a large array of Quality of Service capabilities to deploy revenue-generating services.

Future proof with DOCSIS 3.0 capability
Release 7.4 feature additions include the introduction of an eXtended Downstream (XD) Cable Access Module (CAM) that supports up to 24 Annex A or 32 Annex B downstream channels, DOCSIS 3.0 Multicast IP video support, Policy Based Routing, additional IPv6 support (Phase 3), load balancing enhancements, and additional upstream classifier capability.
As in previous releases, this release supports all of the prior Release 7.x features, making the C4 CMTS the ideal platform for full-scale, production rollout of current and new DOCSIS-based services. With 16 RF slots per chassis and XD (24D or 32D) and 12U Cable Access Modules (CAMs), the C4 CMTS offers an industry-leading combination of availability, robustness, and density for DOCSIS 3.0 applications.
Channel bonding capability for over 300 Mbps downstream and 100 Mbps upstream (up to eight bonded downstream channels and up to four bonded upstream channels with BPI/BPI+ encryption).
IPv6 features including cable modem management, dual stack CPE (devices behind cable modems), IS-IS routing, high-scale forwarding of IPv6 traffic, downstream subscriber management filters, standard data-plane ACLs, IPv6 flooding protection, and DHCPv6 Relay Agent.
Point-to-point Layer 2 VPN per the CableLabs Business Services over DOCSIS (BSoD) specification.
Meets subscriber demands for new and advanced services such as wideband data in both downstream and upstream directions
Reduces operational costs with system scalability that promotes seamless growth within an existing cable plant
Increases subscriber satisfaction and retention through carrier-grade reliability, including integrated “hitless” RF failover
Uncovers new revenue opportunities, such as tiered data, telephony and multimedia services, by guaranteeing delivery of differentiated and dynamic services
An easy migration path and an unmatched level of investment protection are provided to operators wishing to migrate the C4 CMTS from DOCSIS 2.0 to DOCSIS 3.0 configuration
