ARRIS Successfully Demonstrates Next Generation Video Delivery System for the Chinese Market
SUWANEE, Ga., May 2 -- ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) today announced the availability of its next generation wideband data and video delivery system as demonstrated during the recent CCBN Conference in Beijing. The solution is designed to assist Chinese cable operators looking for cost- effective solutions to deliver digital video IP VOD and Ultra High Speed Data services to their customers as part of the Government mandate to deliver digital video throughout the Chinese market.
The ARRIS solution consists of the D5(TM) Universal Edge QAM in combination with the C4® CMTS and Touchstone® Wideband modems to deliver broadcast video, on-demand video and video over DOCSIS® as well as bi- directional wideband data over 120 Mbps wideband data and IPTV services to their customers. The solution offers cable operators cost efficient, flexible network and technology choices while delivering multiple service options to subscribers.
ARRIS has been working closely with national cable operator China Cable Network (CCN) in a SARFT-sponsored trial on Hainan Island Hainan province in one of the first such IP Video over broadband trials in China.
"We are extremely impressed with the ability of the C4 and D5 equipment in tandem to deliver basic and advanced video service in a cost-effective manner to our trial households," said Steven Sheng, Acting CTO of CCN. "The ARRIS solution clearly demonstrates the capability of DOCSIS technology to deliver the services required for the Chinese market in a cost-effective and highly reliable manner."
