SUWANEE, Ga., April 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (Nasdaq: ARRS) today announced that Mexican cable Multiple System Operator (MSO) Cablemas has again selected the ARRIS C4® CMTS and Touchstone® E-MTAs to expand its launch of digital telephony service as part of its new triple play package. Cablemas has previously deployed ARRIS technology to provide VoIP service to over 30,000 homes in cities including Cuernavaca and Tijuana, and anticipates launching the service this summer in additional cities where Cablemas now has franchises.
Cablemas' VoIP service competes with the incumbent national telco Telmex, and is one of the few MSOs in Mexico currently offering the triple play package of voice, video and data -- from one central billing location.
"ARRIS offers the right combination of global technical expertise, scale and support to help ensure the success of our Digital Telephone service rollout -- today and into the future," said Arnoldo Meiselmann, COO of Cablemas. "In addition, ARRIS offers a world-class CMTS platform. We tested a number of systems and the C4 was unmatched in terms of scalability, density, RF redundancy and other critical carrier-class features. We look forward to leveraging the ARRIS platform to cost-effectively deliver the next level of Digital Telephone services to our customers."
"We are delighted to expand our excellent and long-standing relationship with Cablemas," noted ARRIS Sr. Vice President, Mexico/Central America Sales George Fletcher. "Triple play service deployment with the necessary accompanying quality of service and availability is rapidly growing in Mexico and throughout the Latin American market. ARRIS is committed to providing the region's cable operators with the best solutions, service and technical support for which we are known." |
