Arris Interactive is a joint venture between Nortel and Antec to market cable telephony products. I believe Nortel own 7/8ths of the joint venture. Here is an announcment of a product which will allow current users of the circuit switched contstant bit rate product to migrate to an IP telephony product. Any questions about how this product should be referred to Denver Techie. He is an expert on the subject. ANTEC Debuts Its Cornerstone© IP Migration Solution At Western Cable Show - New Solution Enables Operators to Deploy CBR Telephony Today, Migrate to IP Later December 15, 1999, Los Angeles -- ANTEC will announce the Cornerstone Integrated Voice/Data Gateway (IVDG), manufactured by Arris Interactive, at the Western Cable Show. The IVDG allows current and future Cornerstone users to add carrier grade, internet protocol (IP) voice and DOCSIS-compliant high-speed data capability to their already established base of Host Digital Terminals (HDT's). It enables operators to migrate to IP access without waiting for an IP backbone, thereby capturing revenue today while establishing a footprint for future high revenue services. Arris Interactive is a venture between ANTEC Corp and Nortel Networks. "IVDG allows operators to easily migrate from constant bit rate (CBR) voice to IP voice and data while using the same equipment," said Dan Paone, Director, Product Line Management, Digital Systems, ANTEC. "It enhances the HDT's critical role as an IP telephone gateway, allowing Packet PortsTM to connect to an existing switch and the public switched telephone network (PSTN)." Deployed with Cornerstone HDT's, operators can use the IVDG functionality to provide IP over the HFC network for carrier class voice and data service. In addition, the system's dual modem cards (DMC) will continue to provide constant bit rate voice service to telephone subscribers. Furthermore, operators do not have to change their HDT footprint or headend design to accommodate IP voice and data service. The IVDG enhancement is completely compatible with established Operations Support Systems (OSS) and Network Operations Center (NOC) administration procedures. In addition, ANTEC will supply a completely auto-provisioning system, CPS 2000. Operators can learn more about Integrated Voice/Data Gateway, as well as ANTEC's complete line of Cornerstone Voice and Data, Laser Link©, RF LinkTM, Inter LinkTM, Energy LinkTM and Home LinkTM broadband network solutions at Western Cable Show booth #839.
