ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) has completed its $2.1 billion stock and cash (£1.4 billion) acquisition of Pace (LSE:PIC). The newly combined company is incorporated in the UK, with operational and worldwide headquarters remaining in Suwanee, GA.

The combination is also intended to expand ARRIS' position in HFC/optics, complementing its established CMTS business.
