Industry's first deployment of converged edge router in Japan
The deployment of the ARRIS E6000 CER is a pivotal point for Izukyu Cable to aggressively enhance high speed internet services as well as telecommunication services and move to DOCSIS 3.1 in the future.
Izukyu Cable is one of a growing list of service providers across the world benefiting from new levels of network capacity and efficiency afforded by the ARRIS E6000 CER – gaining a competitive advantage in delivering today's services and the scale for driving tomorrow's video and broadband experiences.
"The ARRIS E6000 CER provides us with a high-availability, high-performance solution with impressive scalability," said Mr. Shogo Ozaki, Cable Life Enhancement Business Unit and Product Development Leader, at Izukyu Cable. "The decision to employ ARRIS E6000 for the first time in Japan is not just about the replacement of a CMTS, It would be challenging for us to move forward with FTTH due to cost and topography; therefore, to be able to utilize HFC is important. The future functionality of DOCSIS3.1 is also attractive. With the new solution, we will push forward with high speed internet and telecommunication services for our customers, which are critical to our business and will encourage everyone in our firm."
"We are pleased to be working closely with our valued customer Izukyu Cable to support their transition to the next-generation with the E6000 CER, a first deployment of its kind in Japan," said Rich Matsuo, Vice President, ARRIS, Japan. "As the industry's leading CCAP solution, the ARRIS E6000 CER is capable of maximizing the return on investment because of its ability to support the deployment of future services due to its proven design, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. |
