Netia Selects ARRIS E6000™ Converged Edge Router to Expand High-Speed Broadband Capabilities

WARSAW, Poland, Aug. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Netia today announced it has chosen the E6000™ Converged Edge Router (CER) from ARRIS Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARRS) to ensure its subscribers receive the optimal broadband experience.

Netia will work with VECTOR, a Value Added Reseller for ARRIS, to deploy the ARRIS E6000 CER in the interest of delivering immediate high-performance results, while also positioning them strategically for the future of DOCSIS 3.1 and CCAP.

Netia joins an ever-expanding list of leading global service providers that have chosen the ARRIS E6000 CER to enhance their services, deploy a scalable network platform and realize significant operational savings. In May 2014, Infonetics announced that ARRIS took the lead for worldwide CMTS and CCAP revenue in 1Q14.

"With no legacy infrastructure to consider, we were able to demand the most capable and advanced solution on the market. We chose the ARRIS E6000 CER not only for its current technical capabilities and feature set, but also because it is a highly flexible platform," said Roman Kowalski, Network Planning and Development Director, Netia. "As we continue to disrupt the Polish market with our dynamic offering, we are delighted to have formed this partnership with ARRIS and VECTOR who we trust to deliver a high-performing and reliable service for our customers."

"The ARRIS E6000 CER offers exactly what a future-oriented company like Netia needs to compete in the marketplace. It's a proven go-to solution for delivering high-speed broadband services and IP content today, but with the faculty to support tomorrow's shift to DOCSIS 3.1 and CCAP," said Steve McCaffery, Senior Vice President, EMEA & Asia Pacific, ARRIS. "The E6000 CER is the industry's leading CCAP platform for three compelling reasons: it minimizes installation and configuration, maximizes operational efficiency and reliability, and protects the investments of providers like Netia for years to come."

"The ARRIS E6000 CER is an innovative solution that allows operators to enrich their consumer offering through not only increased Internet speeds, but also converged services such as VOD using integrated DVB EQAM," said Marcin Ułasik, Product Development Director, VECTOR.
