ARRIS's Service Provider WiFi Systems Design and Integration combines service components - authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA), policy enforcement, web portals, wireless access gateways, radio resource management, access point controllers, and access points - for delivering a unified customer experience regardless of device, location or transport technology.
The platform is designed to integrate into operators' delivery network and back-office systems as a result of ARRIS's integration with Aptilo Networks, Benu Networks and Ruckus Wireless. The combined platform leverages Aptilo's service management platform, Benu's wireless access gateway, and Ruckus Smart WiFi access points and control systems.
