SUWANEE, Ga., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) continues its strong tradition of supporting SCTE EXPO by sponsoring a General Session panel of key industry leaders as well as the Expo Evening. ARRIS will also present five technical papers and demonstrate its portfolio of broadband products and solutions at Booth # 2050 at this year's SCTE EXPO in Philadelphia, June 25-27. Among the highlights are:

Wideband Voice and Data delivery, featuring Symmetrical Up and Downstream channel bonding via the DOCSIS 3.0-qualified ARRIS C4(R) CMTS and Wideband Voice and Data Modem products. Also on display are the ARRIS spectrum analyzer and intelligent channel optimizer, wireless E-MTAs and cable modems and E-1 and T-1 modems.

ARRIS Unified Video Management Platform, featuring Video on Demand, Digital Program Insertion (DPI), Switched Digital Video (SDV), On Demand and Linear Addressable Advertising Insertion, and Network PVR. Among the elements enabling these applications are the n5c video server, SkyVision Ad Insertion Platform, D5(TM) Universal Edge QAM, the ARRIS Edge Resource Manager, nABLE Ad Decision Manager and Digital Video Session Manager.

Live WorkAssure(TM) and ServAssure(TM) automated, paperless operational support systems (OSS) that optimize network efficiency, bandwidth, work force and customer management. These solutions minimize the cost of customer installations and service calls by providing real-time information on the quality of the customer's experience and network performance.

The ARRIS Fair Bandwidth Management solution that offers cable operators an unobtrusive tool to effectively avoid network congestion. The Fair Bandwidth Management solution helps operators identify specific customer data usage levels that are causing the congestion and, during peak usage times, adjust those specific users' speeds without disrupting their quality of experience, while alleviating the congestion affecting all other customers online. It is a CMTS and service protocol agnostic tool that is the industry's first scalable and reliable solution for fairly managing subscriber use of the network.

The latest ARRIS Access, Transport and Supply products, including the CHP Max5000(TM) Converged Headend platform, the Opti Max node series, Flex Max(R) amp series and the brand new CORWave(TM) multi-wavelength system which simultaneously supports both residential and business service applications. Additionally, a full line of infrastructure products and OpEx reducing services needed to build, rebuild, upgrade and maintain broadband HFC networks will be demonstrated, along with presentations describing ARRIS network design and integration services.

ARRIS solutions tailored for the Small to Medium Business marketplace, including the ARRIS Touchstone(R) Voice and Data product line, TDM Emulation & Carrier Ethernet product line, and ServAssure management products - all of which offer a full range of support for MSOs providing commercial services. Touchstone Products include support of PacketCable(TM) and SIP voice, high- speed data modems, wireless modems, commercial services aggregators, and a full suite of third-party integrated voice and data solutions.

The ARRIS Fixed/Mobile Convergence solution supports the evolution of today's HFC telephony services towards convergence and the introduction of mobile voice services. The highly-scalable Mobility Application Server operates as an MVNO gateway and thus supports a range of converged voice and data services, providing the operator with the ability to deliver an attractive mobile service offering, while minimizing service costs by offloading voice and data traffic to the landline network. Visitors to the ARRIS booth will see ARRIS' Mobility Application Server providing seamless voice call continuity and converged data services on a range of Symbian and Windows Mobile platforms.
