ARRIS Focusing on Gigabit

At INTX in Chicago, ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) is focusing on providing residential gigabit Internet services via CCAP and DOCSIS 3.1. The company is highlighting its E6000 CER CCAP enabling multi-gigabit speeds on today's HFC systems with IP video and high-speed data support, in two live demos.

The first demo features the E6000 CCAP platform supporting a registered DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem - sending data and IP video packets bonded across both single carrier (SC)-QAM and OFDM channels at gigabit speeds. It's intended to showcase the E6000's ability to support downstream DOCSIS 3.1 technology via a software-only upgrade on the same hardware that ARRIS customers have been deploying for the last two years.

In the second demo, the E6000 CER is supporting CCAP functionality, hosting a DOCSIS 3.0 gigabit demo while simultaneously supporting video edge QAM channels. The demo is intended to highlight ARRIS's RF sparing for both the DOCSIS and edge QAM channels.
