Wideband Modem WBM750 also Certified DOCSIS 3.0
PacketCable 1.5/DOCSIS 3.0 Certified Touchstone 702G an Industry Milestone

SUWANEE, Ga., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ARRS), today announced that its DOCSIS 3.0 certified Touchstone 702G
Embedded Multimedia Terminal Adapter (E-MTA) has also been certified
PacketCable 1.5 compliant in CableLabs' Certification Wave 59. This double
compliance is an industry first and means that cable operators are now able to
deploy primary line telephony service in conjunction with channel bonded
wideband data service, through the versatility and efficiency of one device in
a customer's home, saving operators capital expense investment. Additionally,
the ARRIS Touchstone Wideband Modem WBM750, the latest iteration in the ARRIS
cable modem suite, was also certified DOCSIS 3.0 compliant.
The Touchstone 702G supports up to four bonded channels in both the
upstream and downstream directions, allowing operators to offer up to 120 Mbps
upstream and 160 Mbps downstream high speed data services. ARRIS will use the
702G to demonstrate symmetrical channel bonding at the SCTE EXPO, June 25-28
in Philadelphia. The 702G also supports two lines of PacketCable compliant
carrier grade VoIP.
"This certification wave is further validation that the ARRIS Touchstone
suite of customer premises devices leads the industry in the introduction of
new innovative, standards-based products," said Bruce McClelland, President,
ARRIS Broadband Communications Systems. "The ability to integrate Channel
Bonding and IPv6 into a voice-enabled PacketCable MTA CPE device is a
milestone for ARRIS and the industry and further demonstrates the
technological innovation that has become synonymous with the ARRIS Touchstone
brand."
