ARRIS Mission at IBC: Help Europe's Network Operators Cost-Effectively Compete

SUWANEE, Ga., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (Nasdaq: ARRS) will showcase its full portfolio of network solutions at IBC Stand 1, D-41, September 10-14, 2010 in Amsterdam.  Every element of the many video, data and voice feature demonstrations is designed to provide European operators a competitive technical and business case advantage, and is based on the Company's decades of expertise in developing IP technologies.  

Among the exhibits at the ARRIS stand are:

• End-to-end Euro-DOCSIS® 3.0-based voice, video and data service delivery combining CMTS, Universal Edge QAM, 8Dx4U channel-bonded voice and data modems, gateways and real-time device monitoring.
• On Demand Video and Advertising solutions that combine storage, streaming, service quality visibility and other critical back office functions in one platform – to easily enable the delivery of personalized video content of multiple sizes, sources and formats to the customer's choice of screen.
• Real-time, intelligent network and remote workforce management communication systems to minimize operational expenses.  Unique to the ARRIS assurance platforms is the ability to validate network quality from the time of installation through years of operation, thus assuring the highest quality of service to subscribers.
• Advanced Fibre Solutions -- With Euro-DOCSIS 3.0, the popularity of HD TV and the growth in On Demand, targeted bandwidth needs are growing approximately 50% every year.  CORWave™ DW meets those demands without the cost of installing more fibre.  These latest multi-wavelength solutions have significantly reduced headend space and energy requirements, while also supporting advanced ARRIS Gigabit EPON and RFoG technologies.
• Next Generation multimedia home gateways based on ARRIS' critically-acclaimed Moxi® User Interface and set-top-box design, presented in 2D and 3D HD Home Entertainment environments.  The Internet based commercial and user-generated content will be displayed highlighting significant increase of demand for IP bandwidth stemming from adoption of 3D displays.

Additionally, in cooperation with OpenTV, ARRIS will host a free Training and Education Seminar for all interested network operators entitled: "Monetizing Media: Creating New Revenue Streams with Advertising" on Monday, September 13th, 10:00 – 11:30AM in the Emerald conference room, (Entrance G) of the RAI Centre.
