Visit the ARRIS Stand at IBC 2007

ARRIS is pleased to demonstrate its lineup of broadband access solutions to be displayed at Stand 250 in Pavilion 4 (4.250) during IBC 2007 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, September 7-12.

Next Generation Video:

The ARRIS D5™ Universal Edge QAM is a unique modular edge network device that enables delivery of a wide variety of multimedia services over HFC networks. It provides a complete QAM Sharing solution with simultaneous support of Video-On-Demand, Digital Broadcast, and multiple standards-based Switched Digital Video services. Extensive management and provisioning features are integrated in the D5 Edge QAM using a set of local or remote graphical and command line tools. Operators can benefit from reducing the expenses and operational complexity of using single purpose Edge QAMs when launching advanced multimedia delivery and future high-speed data services with the multi-service ARRIS D5 Universal Edge QAM.

Wideband & DOCSIS® 3.0 Architectures:

The ARRIS C4® CMTS and Touchstone® Wideband Modem WBM650, enabled with FlexPath™ Software deliver up to 160 Mbps data transfer speeds over 4 bonded DOCSIS channels will also be demonstrated at IBC. The live demonstration will include large file and high definition video and gaming downloads during simultaneous video conferencing. When coupled with the ARRIS D5 Universal Edge QAM, the solution presents cost-efficient and easy-to-deploy Modular and Integrated CMTS solutions (M-CMTS & I-CMTS). For more information about the ARRIS C4 CMTS visit www.arrisi.com.

I-CMTS delivers the benefits of DOCSIS 3.0 and flexible upstream to downstream ratios defined in the M-CMTS architecture along with all of the reliability, performance and management benefits of a traditional CMTS in a single package. M-CMTS delivers the ability to distribute network elements across a n operator's infrastructure. The ARRIS solution allows operators to choose the solution set that best fits their architectural needs as their service demands and delivery methods evolve.

For operators with already deployed Euro-DOCSIS 2.0 systems, ARRIS solutions preserve over 80% of the current capital, and minimize operational impacts associated with alternative M-CMTS implementations. The C4 CMTS is fully redundant and boasts hitless failover with no single point of failure. It supports up to 52,000 cable modems and 32,000 voice subscribers.

Additionally, ARRIS will be featured in the IBC Daily and C4 CMTS is a finalist in the "Best Cable Voice/Data Last Mile Technology" category of Cable & Satellite International's Awards on Monday evening, September 10th.
