ARRIS Touchstone® Telephony Gateway TG852G Awarded DOCSIS® 3.0 Certification by CableLabs®


SUWANEE, Ga. - ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) today announced that its Touchstone Telephony Gateway TG852G has been awarded DOCSIS® 3.0 certification in CableLabs®' Wave #76.

The TG852G hardware is the newest generation ARRIS DOCSIS 3.0-certified wireless gateway with support for up to 8 bonded downstream channels and up to 4 bonded upstream channels -- which can deliver in excess of 320 Mbp/s and 120 Mbp/s, respectively. The TG852G combines 2 voice ports, a 4-port Gigabyte Router and an 802.11n wireless access point into a single device capable of supporting both home and small office applications. Using multiprocessor technology, the TG852G achieves this high bandwidth performance without affecting voice quality, a historical ARRIS product standard.

"DOCSIS 3.0 certification is a key step in bringing to market an IP Gateway EMTA that meets the stringent requirements of service providers," said ARRIS Broadband Communications Systems SVP Derek Elder. "Reliability and WiFi performance are key to MSOs managing their operating expenses as they launch these new advanced services. The TG852G is built to meet these needs with a high power WiFi subsystem, internal antennas and power supplies and the reliability that is expected from ARRIS products."
